Frost Window #2, Ipswich, Mass. 1961

(copyright by Paul Caponigro/respective copyright holders)

From my initial responses to nature came the desire to carry it in some form back to my house. After a time this led to the discovery of the weaving one can do with a photographic technique and then on to a process of soul searching. 

I made the discovery that yes, I see things distinctly and differently from others in that I am so, and, so what? And on to the necessity of becoming simple and pure in my seeing and in my recording if I am to approach even the possibility of understanding. I must bring my activity to reverence-to love of work and to love of life.
