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.

You will, in time, see and show others not just the superficial, but the details, the meanings, and the implications of all that you look at.

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

Money and fame that photography can bring you are wonderful, but nothing can compare to the joy of seeing something new.

I try not to tell students where to shoot, when to shoot, or what to shoot. I feel finding the picture is the most important part of being a photographer. The actual shooting is of lesser importance.

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.

Gesture is not always action.
