More quotes by David Douglas
A forest of these trees is a spectacle too much for one man to see.
David Douglas
Wilderness has been characterized as barren and unproductive little can be grown in its sand and rock. But the crops of wilderness have always been its spiritual values - silence and solitude, a sense of awe and gratitude - able to be harvested by any traveler who visits.
David Douglas
I grew up as a cameraman, so it's much easier for me to shoot it myself. I work with an operator and a crew, but it's way easier for me to function as a cinematographer, than to have a cinematographer between me and the lens. I don't need that.
