"Genuinely captivated learning about invasive fish species and the reversal of the Chicago River and its far-reaching impacts.
“It was a lot easier to imagine changing the river once again — with electricity and bubbles and noise and anything else anyone could dream up — than changing the lives of the people around it.”" — Jun 27, 2025 01:09PM

“To take photographs is to hold one's breath when all faculties converge in the face of fleeing reality. It is at that moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy.
To take photographs means to recognize—simultaneously and within a fraction of a second—both the fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that give it meaning. It is putting one's head, one's eye, and one's heart on the same axis.”

“For me the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity, the master of the instant which, in visual terms, questions and decides simultaneously. In order to "give a meaning" to the world, one has to feel oneself involved in what one frames through the viewfinder. This attitude requires concentration, a discipline of the mind, sensitivity, and a sense of geometry.”
