Sometimes as you work, you find that you are learning things about your own perceptions and motivations that are way below you consciousness. If you get lucky, you recognize what you are doing, but all too often we don't find the connection between our work and our own motivations.

We have always wanted to find the 'it-ness' of anything we shoot. We want to get as deep into the subject as we can.

What you're shooting at doesn't matter, the real question is: 'Does it give you joy?'

Forget what it was. Look at what it is.

The pictures are everywhere. If you're open, they will find you.

You will, in time, see and show others not just the superficial, but the details, the meanings, and the implications of all that you look at.

Failing is not a problem. Not trying is a problem.
