If you cannot think of anything to say that is useful or enlightening about your images, then don't say anything. There are plenty of other people who would love to put words in your mouth.

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

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.

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.

A few photographers make a killing; the rest can't make a living.

Why do photographers photograph? To make unreality visible.

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