Quality … has to do with intention.

I'm an amateur photographer, apart from being a professional one, and I think maybe my amateur pictures are the better ones.

You must have a visual sense if you want to be a photographer. It is a very subtle thing, this visual business.

Quality … has to do with intention.

A visual sense is something you either have or you don't.

Photography is an art of observation - it's about creating something extraordinary out of the ordinary. You choose a frame and then wait until the right time for something magical to come along and fill it.

Be sure to take the lens cap off before photographing.
