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.

You find that you have to do many things, more than just lift up the camera and shoot, and so you get involved in it in a very physical way. You may find that the picture you want to do can only be made from a certain place, and you're not there, so you have to physically go there. And that participation may spur you on to work harder on the thing, . . . because in the physical change of position you start seeing a whole different relationship.

When we are given gifts, we must be quick and able to accept them.

... there's one of the great lies of all times, that computers save time. They don't. They're time suckers. So, I'm trying not to get involved in the Photoshop.

We don't experience light, color, and gesture in a vacuum. We experience it in contexts.

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

The whole world is there for you. Gifts will happen, but only if you are patient with life itself, the shooting process, and your own limitations.
