I didn't decide to be a photographer; I just happened to fall into it.
Imagine a world without photography, one could only imagine.
The art is in selecting what is worthwhile to take the trouble about.
Photography doesn't teach you to express your emotions; it teaches you how to see.
Self-conscious artiness is fatal, but it certainly would not hurt to study composition in general. Having a basic understanding of composition would help construct a better organized image.
The photograph may be presented as finely and artistically as you will; but to merit serious consideration, must be directly connected with the world we live in.
