You have a lifetime to learn technique. But I can teach you what is more important than technique, how to see; learn that and all you have to do afterwards is press the shutter.

Photography is about finding out what can happen in the frame. When you put four edges around some facts, you change those facts.

Photos have no narrative content. They only describe light on surface.
