As an amateur you have an advantage over photographers - you can do as you wish... This should make amateurs the happiest of photographers.

Unless a subject interests me, I'll pass it over and save my film for better things.

Know - how is worthless unless guided by know - why and know - when.

No one can do inspired work without genuine interest in his subject and understanding of its characteristics.

Don't look for "depth" but instead search for subject aspects which prove the presence of depth.

Realism and superrealism are what I'm after. This world is full of things the eye doesn't see. The camera can see more, and often 10 times better.

Experience has shown that the more fascinating the subject, the less observant the photographer.
