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.

I am serious about not being serious.

Balance of light is the problem, not the amount. Balance between shadows and highlights determines where the emphasis goes in the picture...make sure the major light in a picture falls at right angles to the camera.

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

I don't really have a favorite camera. I use a Leica and Canon a lot. It depends, especially professionally, on the requirements. But my carry-around camera is a Leica.

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.
