“Everything exists, everything is true and the earth is just a bit of dust beneath our feet.”
W.B. Yeats (via suzywire)
“The best friendships never truly die. We may go our separate ways, for a while. But the friendships not only lead the way home. The friendships are home.”
“The best way to help people feel secure is by acting secure around them.”
“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.”
Ansel Adams
“Portraits are the most intimate photographs. The image will survive the subject.”
-Victor Skrebneski
Experience the Photo First
Strong photos come from living the experience and being able to capture the emotions.
Behind every picture there is a story. What makes the story good is a great photo. A great photo comes from experiencing the moment. To truly experience the moment, take a photo with fresh eyes. As a photographer you should look for a new approach, a new way to capture the image. If you read too much about an event or location when you photograph you may subconsciously be photographing someone else’s story. The best pictures will come from your experience with the situation.
I buy a plane ticket, maybe check the weather. I don’t like to research or know too much about what is going on. I want the photos to represent what I am feeling when I am there. Not a preconceived notion of what I read before going.
“Whenever you take a stand on an issue, people will line up around the block to kick your ass over it. By having an opinion, you make yourself a target.”
Jesse Ventura
