“There are many men and women I admire, many I don’t. Those I do admire have certain distinct and definable qualities. They are the same characteristics I find in these Southern Highlands where I grew up and where I live. This land has strength, purpose, permanence, simplicity, intimacy, infinity, elegance and grace. They are the same values I find in friendship. They make a lasting marriage. I embrace them in the last mile to the top. I hear them in good music. I feel them in good writing. I see them in fine art. I participate in them and understand them more completely through photography.”
Dickson will be retiring soon from his job as president of Asheville Savings Bank. He hopes to devote more time to his family and his photography.
