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.

Something catches your eye, or your interest. You attack it in some way or observe it in some way, and try to put it in some kind of form and take a picture. It's as simple as that.

All the technique in the world doesn't compensate for the inability to notice.

I'm not a serious photographer like many of my contemporaries. That is to say, I am serious about not being serious.

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

If you're not a curious person, you're certainly not going to be a good photographer.

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