Don't be the best in the world. Be the best for the world.

What is creativity? Having spent my life in one creative endeavor after another, I can tell you it's not something magical or mystical. It's something very simple. To me, it's just a moment - a moment where we look at the ordinary, but we see the extraordinary. It happens all the time in my photography.

Celebrate the best in people. Find the light that shines not on us, but within us, when we trust enough to let it out.

F8 And Be There! For years, this was the cry of the photojournalist. It meant that 90% of a great photo was being in the right place at the right time. True, it was simplistic, but in the Age of Photoshop, this maxim is too often forgotten. No matter how much you play with the bits and bytes, the best images always start out with a great vision, clearly and cleanly seen.

Everything you need to know about life is in one breath.

Dream the dream, find that extraordinary vision, and keep it in focus.

Do we choose to see possibilities? Do we really believe that they're there? Perception controls our reality, and if we don't believe it, we won't see it.
