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

Photoshop is useful in many ways but must NEVER be used for the altering of photographs. My assistants and my agency do whatever Photoshop work for me that may be required as it is too complicated for my brain.

Be sure to take the lens cap off before photographing.

Photography is pretty simple stuff. You just react to what you see, and take many, many pictures.

When I get up in the morning I brush my teeth and go about my business, and if I am going anywhere interesting I take my camera along.

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.

I don't think you can create luck. You're either lucky or you're not. I don't know if it's really luck or if it's just curiosity. I think the main ingredient, or a main ingredient for photography is curiosity. If you're curious enough and if you get up in the morning and go out and take pictures, you're likely to be more lucky than if you just stay at home.
