You sort of have to be always aware, even when you're not thinking of shooting. That's when the best stuff happens.
You have to let the past successes go, or you'll never be able to see anew.
Gesture is not always action.
The pictures are everywhere. If you're open, they will find you.
Forget what it was. Look at what it is.
Sometimes without shooting a picture germinates in your head. Other times, you keep taking pictures of the same thing and watch the images mature and grow.
