But there are times when thinking is misplaced, like when taking photographs. You cannot think your way to making photographs; you can photograph your way to clearer thinking.

I agree, intellectualism in photography is overrated. I just wish it could be replaced by common sense.

The best way for photographers to become rich and famous is to go into another field.

Photography opens your eyes a little wider to the world around you.

I start a lot of photo projects but never seem to. . . .

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.

My point is that meaning is always personal, changeable and subjective. There is no 'correct' interpretation of a photograph.
