“Somehow the earlier photographers had as yet not captured the attitudes and gestures that women assumed. They seemed to freeze in front of the lens as if posing for their portraits whereas the top fashion illustrators would render them as they actually saw them in real life. Was there no way of achieving the same results with photography?”

"I photographed the Antique Ford Car at the Thomas Edison and Henry Ford Winter Estates in Fort Myers. The two inventors were friends and frequently summered together with their families. Can you imagine the dinner conversations? The estates feature an orange grove and lush gardens that partially reflect in the windshield. The iconic lines of the Ford Model T rendered in black and white allude to timelessness. I enjoy making images that are classically composed and could be confused with another era."

“In this series of portraits the countenance served as a mirror in which I looked at myself, wondered and searched for meaning...the strength of the glance lies in the power it has to reverse my own, and this power reaches its most intense value if it manages to reverse the spectator’s as well. To the observer, to discover him or her self in this internal, silent gaze, accompanied by this immobile countenance that stares back at him, means to become aware that. We all share a common destiny. A reflection on beauty as fragility, memory as pain and time as a continuous fall”

"Torii gates in Japan symbolize the Shinto belief that deities reside not just in shrines, temples churches, mosques, synagogues and other institutionalized religious structures, but in nature, in the earth, sky and water. These gates serve as reminders to respect and honor the land, the earth and our universe. Personally, I regard them almost as road signs directing me to slow down and smell the roses. Every individual will have their own interpretations, but when I see a Torii gate, I immediately want to free myself from unwanted distractions, focus on what is important, escape from the noise of the world, unclutter my “stuff" and prioritize life. These are heady and ambitious resolutions, usually quite forgotten when back in the “other” world. This particular Torii gate stands outside a small shrine on a sparsely populated island in Shikoku. I have photographed it three times so far, always cognizant that the experience of concentrated waiting and watching could be considered a form of meditation, appropriate to the location."

"We live in trying times. Maybe this is the one thing everyone can agree on. There is a soothing and meditative quality to observing gently breaking waves. From the sounds to the random designs of the unique patterns; these experiences can transform us by shifting focus to something real, primal, and foundational. Such was the case of this photograph, made from the Venice (California) pier. I wanted to distill the shapes I was observing into core, minimalist elements."

“The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It’s the care she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows and the beauty of a woman only grows with every passing year”

~ Audrey Hepburn

"Driving alone in Hokkaido, some twenty years ago, I was startled to see an attractive fence, climbing up a snow-covered hillside. I stopped the car by the side of the road and photographed it. Later, I would need a truck driver to tow me out of the field of snow where I had inadvertently parked, but that’s another story. Almost every year since, I have returned to Hokkaido and have continued to photograph this fence and the hillside. The minimalism and sheer simplicity of the scene transforms three dimensions into two, and the sparse elements involved seem to make the print more like a Sumi-e ink painting than a photograph. One might think that little could change, year in year out, in such a scene. Yet, each time I revisit, I find that it is different. Perhaps a new pattern and configuration has appeared, an arrangement of forms changes, distance seems to contract or lengthen to become ambiguous, perspectives may shift, snow levels always vary, and the light is never the same. I am so appreciative of this location. It is a gift which keeps giving."

"My father wrote the above words on the back of a mounted print of this photograph of light. It is one of 18 images featured in the beautifully handcrafted 2017 publication of Relativity: Wynn Bullock and Albert Einstein. In his introductory essay, editor Collier Brown wrote: “In this book, 21st Editions presents two great twentieth-century thinkers, one a scientist, one an artist, but both on the same quest to perceive reality beyond the limitations of the senses. Behind both men’s work lies a kindred imagination…." Dad was fascinated by how the universe worked and photography was his way of probing its mysteries. In Gravitation Acceleration, 1950, physics and art come together in a stunningly elegant, graceful dance. "

"Key Largo, is one of the earliest images in the project. At that time, I was still photographing speculatively, without any preconceived agenda. Having moved to Miami earlier that year, it all seemed wild and exotic. The first hurricane warnings appeared in the summer. On a weekend getaway to the Keys, I took this photograph of my son climbing on a branch over the ocean. I think of this image as an allegory, both idyllic and uncertain about the future of our children in this changing climate. It appears that solving the crisis will fall largely on them."

"The morning had been far from easy. I had been walking in snow shoes for over an hour, up a steep hill, with Tsuyoshi, my Hokkaido guide of almost twenty years. It was pre-dawn and freezing cold. I had almost reached our goal - a specific tree which sat on a high horizon. My normal modus operandi is to make pictures from a distance with my Hasselblad cameras before moving closer. There is a practical aspect to this as it avoids messing up the foreground with footprints. Eventually, I reached what I considered to be the perfect spot for the best perspective on the tree and I stamped down the snow so that I could plant the tripod. Framing and focussing on the tree, I measured the light with my exposure meter, breathed in and slowly pressed the cable release to trigger the camera shutter. A healthy Hasselblad exposure sounded. Winding the film on, I bracketed half a stop as I often do, and attempted another exposure. This time, nothing happened. My lens had jammed. In my experience, old mechanical cameras sometimes misbehave in sub zero conditions. I don’t blame them - so do I - or would like to. I was not worried. Being a “professional", I always carried two camera bodies with me when out in the landscape. After swapping them out, I went through the same process, pressed the shutter and, only silence. In all of my 50 years of photographing, I have never before had two cameras break down at the same time. After much fumbling around in the cold, cajoling, pleading, cursing, and trying every which way to remedy the situation, I had to give up and return to base. Once back at our car, Tsuyoshi phoned around Hokkaido and finally found a ninety year old camera repair person, many miles away in Asahikawa, who would attempt to repair my cameras. He was able to temporarily fix one, but not the other, and expressed uncertainly that ANY of the photographs I had made that morning, before the camera jammed, would come out. Imagine my delight (and relief) then, months later, after the film was processed, to find this one, well-exposed, image on the film. I consider myself very lucky, and, when its comes down to it, surely, good fortune is one of the most valuable pieces of equipment a photographer can possibly be blessed with."

"While walking along a dark, murky salt marsh, I photographed a hunting pelican in fading daylight. The scene reminded me of a Dutch still life. The dark water and dim side light created a chiaroscuro effect. I have lived in Miami for seven years, but the abundant wildlife here does not get old. Occasionally, pelicans land right next to you if you are in the ocean, and small fishes try to hide under your body."

We were traveling along the Redwood Highway trying to find a place to have a picnic. The road was so littered with cans and rubbish that we rode for miles and couldn’t find a place. Finally, we just went off and had our lunch amid the litter. When it was over, I wandered off the highway about 150 feet and saw this incredible scene. It was an ancient virginal forest. Barbara [my daughter] was with us. She was a young virginal child. I knew the qualities of her body would both contrast and harmonize beautifully with the qualities of the dead logs and living plants of the forest. The cyclic character of natural forces would be clearly evident.The light was just right, everything was spatially balanced; the relationships between events – the young child, the new forest covering, the prehistoric trees, the rotting logs – were strong and exciting. Everything went together perfectly. I didn’t have to analyze anything. I just recognized what was in front of me. All I had to do was set up and take the picture.

“Photography is not documentation but intuition, a poetic experience. It’s drowning yourself, dissolving yourself, then sniff, sniff, sniff- being sensitive to coincidence. You can’t go looking for it: you can’t want it or you won’t get it. First you must lose yourself. Then it happens.

~Barack Obama

In the still picture, a deeply paradoxical truth exists. Objects can be frozen in time in terms of their specific physical, external qualities, but the mind can respond to these same objects as events in time. This involves, of course, the skill of the photographer in expressing symbolically three dimensional objects and four dimensional time, and the awareness of the viewer that permits him to recognize and respond to the symbols that create the illusion.

~ Wynn Bullock

This photograph was taken during the same family road trip that produced "Child in Forest". The day was cool and misty and we had the beach all to ourselves. Mom and I were hunting for driftwood and shells while Dad was lugging his 8x10 view camera around just in case…. Although what he found wasn’t something we could cart home with us to put in the garden, he did win the prize for the most spectacular find of the day!

"As a photographer, one might, if very fortunate, be commissioned to photograph in a location that would otherwise be difficult to access. Such was the case in 2006 when Traveler Magazine kindly asked me to spend a week on Mt. Koya, (aka Koya San), the Honshu mountain top headquarters of the Shingon Buddhist sect. I stayed in a different residential temple every night, sleeping on tatami floors and dining on vegetables, roots and nuts. I photographed monks and pilgrims, inside and outside of temples, sand gardens, stone lanterns, tombstones in the ancient Okunoin graveyard, and the surrounding landscape. I experienced exquisite Buddhist rituals and services. The whole experience was thrilling and life changing.

This photograph of a Lotus Pond next to the Henjouson Temple was made one very early, pre-dawn morning. The light was soft and quiet, as if the day was just waking up from a deep sleep. The exposure was perhaps twenty minutes, so the water becomes a sort of mist, swirling around the one central point where water sprays into the air. I remember birds singing and monks chanting. Occasional figures walked by, across the bridge, but the long exposure ensured they dissolved and become invisible."

"Perhaps the secret to being a productive photographer is just about showing up - being in the right place at the right time to record and/or interpret the miraculous beauty of our world. I have frequently visited and photographed around Kussharo Lake, more than most places in Japan. Set high up in the North East of Hokkaido, there is something alluring, attractive and mysterious about the place that consistently calls me back. No matter how many times I walk along its banks, the view is never the same, it changes and recharges every minute to reveal a continual stream of astonishingly beautiful new treasures and delights. On this particularly cold morning, the frozen ice combined with the natural hot spring water to produce clouds of white mist which rose behind black, inky trees. I was there at one of many “right" times and I knew that it would been very difficult to make a poor photograph. Having frequently returned to this location since, I have found, to my great satisfaction, there have been many other “right” times.."
