Each picture you take has power as long as it brings experience to the person who’s looking at it.

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.

Pain is not a conduit to art or joy

If you are out there shooting, things will happen for you. If you're not out there, you'll only hear about it.

Forget what it was. Look at what it is.

You are responsible for every part of your image, even the parts you’re not interested in.

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.
