He argues that if digital technology replaces conceptualization and composition through a lens, then photographers would never need to seek out the right image in a harsh environment or use their own skills to capture things like the reflection of light off of the sea, to say nothing of the days and nights spent working in the darkroom honing their developing and printing techniques.
他認為，如果以數位合成技術取代主題構思與佈局光源等諸多元素，攝影者就不必再在嚴苛的氣候裡苦候影像，也不必用心算計每道光波帶出的影像效果，更不必終宵熬夜、泡在暗房裡訓練沖印技術，果真如此，那只會讓攝影藝術逐漸枯萎。
