When you shoot, that is opportunity number one to make a statement. When you edit, you have opportunity number two to make your statement. It could be an affirmation of your first choice or could go off in another direction.

You always end up with too many pictures to edit and too few that you feel 'got it'.

Always wait for the trigger. The trigger is the final part of the puzzle, the reason you want to shoot.

If you are out there shooting, things will happen for you. If you're not out there, you'll only hear about it.

Since the background is as important as the subject, you mustn't let it default by chance. You must control not only vertical and horizontal, you must be aware of the depth of field (or lack of it) that you want in the background.

If you want to make more interesting pictures, become a more interesting person.

Color is seductive. It changes as it interacts with other colors, it changes because of the light falling upon it, and it changes as it becomes larger in size.
