It's a lot easier to take pictures if you always have the camera with you.

As you see something that yo want to shot and it's bearing down on you, it's important to start framing long before the subject gets close to you. The light will reveal itself possibly long before you want to take the image, but you have to wait until the picture comes to you, and if you've been anticipating carefully when the subject will be in position, the background will have been figured out in advance.

If you want to make more interesting pictures, become a more interesting person.

Failing is not a problem. Not trying is a problem.

Never say you're going back - SHOOT IT NOW!

First, perseverance trumps talent. Second, do what you want to do, otherwise why bother? Third, be ethical; it might rub off on others. Fourth, don't give up.

You have to learn not only from your failures. You must also learn from your successes.
