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

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

The advice I would give to any photographer - young, old or in-between - is to explore anything visual because this is, after all, how you express your artistry. Look at paintings, movies, drawings, sculptures - look at anything visual and try to integrate that into your visual sense. After that, go out and take pictures and keep on taking pictures!

You have to devote yourself totally to be successful at it.

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

The thing is that when you don't carry a camera, that's when you see pictures in particular, or at least that's when you think you see pictures in particular. When you do carry it, if you do see one on the occasion that you do, you can take it.

Working myself into a position of total versatility, so that I can do anything I want to do at the time I want to do it. Whether I do it or not is another question.
