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

You don't study photography. You do it.

It's just seeing - at least the photography I care about. You either see or you don't see. The rest is academic. Anyone can learn how to develop. It's how you organize what you see into a picture.

Nothing happens when you sit at home. I always make it a point to carry a camera with me at all times...I just shoot at what interests me at that moment.

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 like things that have to do with what is real, elegant, well presented and without excessive style. In other words, just fine observation.
