I'm always mentally photographing everything as practice.
We could teach photography as a way to make a living, and best of all, somehow to get students to experience for themselves photography as a way of life.
One does not photograph something simply for 'what it is', but 'for what else it is.
All photographs are self-portraits.
One should not only photograph things for what they are but for what else they are.
When gifts are given to me through my camera, I accept them graciously.
