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.

I appreciate simplicity, true beauty that lasts over time, and a little wit and eclecticism that make life more fun.

It's about reacting to what you see, hopefully without preconception. You can find pictures anywhere. It's simply a matter of noticing things and organising them. You just have to care about what's around you and have a concern with humanity and the human comedy.

A picture should be looked at - not talked about.

There's no great mystique to photography. A lot of photographers like to put their hands up to their forehead and tell you how they've suffered and so forth. Well, I just rent a car and drive to the place and take the pictures.

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

Most photographers work best alone, myself included.
