In this business if you take too long the landscape changes. So the opportunities that were there when I decided to take a break weren't there when I came back. It's like 'Wait a second - what happened here?' It was a real learning experience. I've paid my dues I will tell you that.

Having photographed the landscape for a number of years and specifically working with trees and in the forest I found without consciously thinking about it that it was a great learning experience for me in terms of organizing elements.

Whose leadership whose judgment whose values do you want in the White House when that crisis lands like a thud on the Oval Office desk?

It is like a voyage of discovery into unknown lands seeking not for new territory but for new knowledge. It should appeal to those with a good sense of adventure.

Artificial Intelligence leaves no doubt that it wants its audiences to enter a realm of pure fantasy when it identifies one of the last remaining islands of civilization as New Jersey.

A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of idea.

I do portraits. I usually do live models in a class environment but I've been painting at home more. I really love the human form and I love faces. I've tried to do landscapes a few times.

I always knew who I was and where I had come from. I was not looking for a home in other people's lands.

I have behind me not only the splendid traditions and the annals of more than a thousand years but the living strength and majesty of the Commonwealth and Empire of societies old and new of lands and races different in history and origins but all by God's Will united in spirit and in aim.

I cannot lead you into battle. I do not give you laws or administer justice but I can do something else - I can give my heart and my devotion to these old islands and to all the peoples of our brotherhood of nations.
