Words of wisdom for every photographer: 'Thinking is more interesting than knowing, but less interesting than looking'. So said Goethe.

Asked for your opinion on the prints, you have two choices: truth or tact. I ask for the bathroom.

I appreciate photographs which celebrate harmony. I don't particularly want to look at chaos. I see enough of that at home.

'I am a camera' but it is a discontinued model.

Be gentle and tolerant. Intimacy will grow, but will take time and cannot be rushed. If all goes well, soon you will become more familiar with each other, and handling will forge awkward fumbling and fondling into more satisfying and productive caresses and eventually into a comfortable working partnership. At this stage you will be ready to accompany your new camera into the world.

A photograph is a mirror; mostly it reflects the prejudices of the viewer.

If you are intent on drawing or painting on your prints, you must first learn to draw and paint at least as well as you photograph.
