In the last workshop I taught, a woman flew in from Thailand. She's a medical doctor in Bangkok. I asked her in her one-on-one session where she wanted photography to be in her life.Did she want a second career? Was it about earning money? Or was it art? And she said "None of those. I want photography to be serious in my life." It would be like someone wanting music, like piano playing, to be a richer, deeper, and maybe even harder experience.
Sam AbellIt matters little how much equipment we use; it matters much that we be masters of all we do use.
Sam AbellThat's who comes to my workshops. I jokingly tell my students that the class could be called "Your photographs: Better."
