Making pictures is a very simple act. There is no great secret in photography...schools are a bunch of crap. You just need practice and application of what you've learned. My absolute conviction is that if you are working reasonably well the only important thing is to keep shooting...it doesn't matter whether you are making money or not. Keep working, because as you go through the process of working things begin to happen.

After following the crowd for a while, I'd then go 180 degrees in the exact opposite direction. It always worked for me.

Photography is simply a function of noticing things.

I enjoy nothing more than spending time with my loved ones, young and old, and at least once a year we get together for a formal family photograph.

You can find pictures anywhere. It's simply a matter of noticing things and organizing them.

The whole point of taking pictures is so that you don't have to explain things with words.

I don't like explosions. I don't mind progress. But digital photography has made every man, woman, child and chimpanzee a photographer of sorts and consequently has numbed down the general quality of photographs.
