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.

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.

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

Every picture should have a place you can go, a home, a climax.

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.

'Color' is quite different from 'colors.' In an image with many colors, we find that all the colors compete with each other rather than interacting with each other. The results" colors.

You are responsible for every part of your image, even the parts you’re not interested in.
