There is no one solution to all problems. It's the problem itself that can lead to the solution.

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.

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.

The composition is already there, you just need to crop it

The drama of light exists not only in what is in the light, but also in what is left dark. If the light is everywhere, the drama is gone.

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

There is no one solution to all problems. It's the problem itself that can lead to the solution.
