Cinematography is infinite in its possibilities... much more so than music or language.
I think one of the reasons people quit is because they're afraid they won't be able to get better and better; that they have to come to a zenith of some kind.

Contrast is what makes photography interesting.
Every once in a while, when the audience is expecting to see one thing, you have to show them something else.
