Never put lettering in your photos unless you want it read.

If you're just going to meet consumer or clients' demands, you might as well be a plumber - the work will be more frequently available.

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.

You see shape, and how the light hits things, how the color changes from one end of the photo to the other, and how movement affects the mood of the photo.

A photographer's art is more in his perceptions than his execution. In a painter, I think the perception is only the first step, and then you have a kind of hard road of execution.

Keep your mind open. You may very well learn something new about yourself and your pictures.

I'm a New Yorker. I don't believe in air unless I can see it.
