Light gesture and color of the key compliments of any photograph. Light and color are obvious, but it is just her that is the most important. There is gesture in everything. It's up to you to find a gesture that is most telling.

I take pictures, and they are there for the taking. I'll tell you a quote that I have always thought about. Arthur Miller said, I try to create the poem from the evidence.

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

Gesture will survive whatever kind of light you have. Gesture can triumph over anything because of its narrative content.

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

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.

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