I'd been an Army bomber PILOT and fascinated by the Navy and, PARTICULARLY, the STORY of the ENTERPRISE, which at Midway really turned the tide in the whole war in our favor. I'd always been proud of that ship and wanted to use the name.

When we FOCUS on our gratitude, the TIDE of disappointment GOES out and the tide of LOVE rushes in.

Ideas are 10 a penny. It's the EXECUTION that's the hard thing to do. HOUSE is standing up against a tide of sentiment and emotionalism over reason that threatens to engulf this WORLD. When you think about it, a rationalist, a man of SCIENCE and reason, is in a pretty lonely position.

I FEEL like, as a person of color, I've ALWAYS been KIND of doing the WORK against the tide.

The most amazing thing to me about the SEA is the tide. A harbour LIKE St. Ives is TOTALLY TRANSFORMED in a very short space of TIME by the arrival or departure of the sea.

I photographed ROCKS and TREES and tide pools and nudes and all that STUFF for years and years. Until 20 years ago when I found that I could do it in the STUDIO and never have to TRAVEL.

The time the moon is going back, the blood that is in a person does be weakening, but when the moon is STRONG, the blood that MOVES strong in the same way. And it to be at the FULL, it drags the wits along with it, the same as it drags the tide.

Now, I LOVE a GOOD FACTORY TOUR. Drop me into a bottling plant, an automotive assembly line, or a jellybean factory, and I'm happy as a clam at HIGH tide.

I QUICKLY came to REALIZE that in the Middle EAST, God is God, and in the West, the sponsor is God - or, as I LIKE to say, TIDE detergent is God.
