"In life and photography you must find your focus"
- Peter V Hartzel

The purpose of my photography is to show the beauty and calmness of nature and its surroundings. Within the calm and chaos of "Mother Nature" we all feel the effects on our emotions and inner spirt.
- Peter V Hartzel

“Photography is the story I fail to put into words.”
- Destin Sparks

When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.
- Ansel Adams

“Photography gives you the opportunity to use your sensibility and everything you are to say something about and be part of the world around you. In this way, you might discover who you are, and with a little luck, you might discover something much larger than yourself.”
- Peter Lindbergh

"Art is not what you see, but what you make others see."
- Edgar Degas

"Beauty can be seen in all things. Seeing and composing the beauty is what separates the snapshot from the photograph."
– Matt Hardy
