When finding the right angle for a shot...'Move your ass.'
You always end up with too many pictures to edit and too few that you feel 'got it'.
It's my obligation to take out all the 'wrong' pictures.
Sometimes as you work, you find that you are learning things about your own perceptions and motivations that are way below you consciousness. If you get lucky, you recognize what you are doing, but all too often we don't find the connection between our work and our own motivations.
As people, we love pattern. But interrupted pattern is more interesting.
You have to have a lot of 'overage' so that your failures aren't the only thing you come home with. You've got to have a lot of things that were magnificent failures, but you want some magnificent successes.
