In my mind’s eye, I visualize how a particular... sight and feeling will appear on a print. If it excites me, there is a good chance it will make a good photograph. It is an intuitive sense, an ability that comes from a lot of practice Picture Quote #1

Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution Picture Quote #1

One of the most important pieces of equipment, for the photographer who really wants to improve, is a great big wastepaper basket Picture Quote #1

I am sure the next step will be the electronic image, and I hope I shall live to see it. I trust that the creative eye will continue to function, whatever technological innovations may develop Picture Quote #1
