I love when pictures ask questions or make others ask questions.

I want to go out as unprepared as possible so I can get filled up with what the world has to offer.

As you see something that yo want to shot and it's bearing down on you, it's important to start framing long before the subject gets close to you. The light will reveal itself possibly long before you want to take the image, but you have to wait until the picture comes to you, and if you've been anticipating carefully when the subject will be in position, the background will have been figured out in advance.

The more light you have in an image, the less drama you get. The details start taking over; the mystery is all gone.

Forget what it was. Look at what it is.

We have always wanted to find the 'it-ness' of anything we shoot. We want to get as deep into the subject as we can.

It's important to realize that the images are everywhere, not just where you want or expect them to be.
