Pain is not a conduit to art or joy

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

If you're not your own severest critic, you are your own worst enemy.

Sometimes without shooting a picture germinates in your head. Other times, you keep taking pictures of the same thing and watch the images mature and grow.

The awareness of the quality of space in out photos is akin to our awareness of the very air in our photos, the atmosphere that pervades every square inch of our image and yet is often invisible to the photographer.

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

The whole world is there for you. Gifts will happen, but only if you are patient with life itself, the shooting process, and your own limitations.
