There are rules about perception, but not about photography.
Always carry a camera, it's tough to shoot a picture without one.
You must be open to what otherwise may seem to be a detriment to your 'plans'.
'Color' is quite different from 'colors.' In an image with many colors, we find that all the colors compete with each other rather than interacting with each other. The results" colors.
Photography is an act of love.
Money and fame that photography can bring you are wonderful, but nothing can compare to the joy of seeing something new.
