Never ever say the word shoot when you are taking a picture with a camera because a camera is not a violent weapon.

Photography is art when it's used by an artist.

There is nothing unimportant in the universe.
photography trying body
Every day I am aware of the flow and constant change; perhaps I am at the edge of discovering what more our bodies might be able to teach about the spirit of life. At least, I am always exploring and trying to understand our relationship to the whole universe.
said
I always said 'yes' to everything.
nature clouds together
The ground we walk on, the plants and creatures, the clouds above constantly dissolving into new formations - each gift of nature possessing its own radiant energy, bound together by cosmic harmony.
photography ideas cry
If you are not passionately devoted to an idea, you can make very pleasant pictures but they won't make you cry.
photography helping photograph
I never question what to do, it tells me what to do. The photographs make themselves with my help.
photography falling-in-love love-you
Fall in love. Every day. With everything. With life. If you can fall in love, you can be a photographer. I think that is absolutely essential.
photography not-interested ifs
If youre not interested in life, then photography has no meaning
photography people trying
A person cannot learn to be a photographer. He can only cultivate what he already has. I try to make people aware that they have something very precious to cultivate.
photography soul too-much
There is no such thing as taking too much time, because your soul is in that picture.
photography inspiration curves
Light is my inspiration, my paint and brush. It is as vital as the model herself. Profoundly significant, it caresses the essential superlative curves and lines. Light I acknowledge as the energy upon which all life on this planet depends.
photography target timeless
Woman has been the target of much that is sordid and cheap, especially in photography. To raise, to elevate, to endorse with timeless reverence the image of woman, has been my mission.
