When a photographer masters the tools and processes of the art, then the quality of the work is only limited by his creative vision.

The camera sees more than the eye, so why not make use of it?

To compose a subject well means no more than to see and present it in the strongest manner possible.

If I have any 'message' worth giving to a beginner it is that there are no short cuts in photography.

Good composition is merely the strongest way of seeing.

......so called “composition” becomes a personal thing, to be developed along with technique, as a personal way of seeing.

Now, to consult the rules of composition before making a picture is a little like consulting the law of gravity before going for a walk.
