You can't just turn on when something happens, you have to be turned on all the time. Then things happen.

It's not just when you shoot, or what you shot, or where you shoot, it's the combination of the three.

Gesture is not always action.

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

You have to let the past successes go, or you'll never be able to see anew.

Remember that most people (those who are not photographers) don't even see the things that you missed. Many don't even look. Ergo, you are way ahead of the game.

I try not to tell students where to shoot, when to shoot, or what to shoot. I feel finding the picture is the most important part of being a photographer. The actual shooting is of lesser importance.
