If you want to make more interesting pictures, become a more interesting person.
Photography is an act of love.
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 always around. You just don't see it.
The problem suggests the solution.
If the light is great in front of you, you should turn around and see what it is doing behind you.
