“I don’t speak emotionally about my pictures.That’s for other people to do. I will say that I love my photos. That’s what keeps me going. Photography teaches us to see and we can see whatever we wish. When I take a photograph, I make a wish, I was always looking for beauty”

~ George Tice
(1938-2025)

George Tice was my photographic hero—modest, humble, and quietly brilliant. His photograph of the view from the Chrysler Building speaks to the America he helped me understand a place of enduring, evolving, and rich with humanity. George belonged to a generation of master craftsmen, an endangered species now. George was a photographer who made a life where he got to do what he loved, and that is the greatest success any artist can hope for.
