photography simple way
I like the simple things. I don't know why. I'm that way. I came from a simple place.
photography book simple
To be a photographer, one must photograph. No amount of book learning, no checklist of seminars attended, can substitute for the simple act of making pictures.
morning sky people
My project could be only to photograph as I felt and desired, to regulate a pleasant form of living, to get up in the morning-free, to feel the trees, the grass, the water, sky or buildings, people-everything that affects us; and to photograph that which I saw and have always felt.
photography technique mystery
The mystery isn't in the technique, it's in each of us.
photography forever goes-on
I can tell you for me it goes on forever. There are some things you can't ever find out. You can't find out in one life either.
photography mysterious i-can
I can't say what makes a picture. I can't say. It's mysterious.
photography prayer
A picture is like a prayer.
photography believe people
I do believe strongly in photography and hope by following it intuitively that when the photographs are looked at they will touch the spirit in people.
inspirational men classic-films
A man's got to know his limitations.
photography prayer offering
A picture is like a prayer; you're offering a prayer to get something, and in a sense it's like a gift of God because you have practically no control-at least I don't.
journey matter
Only the journey matters.
mind legends
You're a legend in your own mind.
long people shots
Nothing wrong with people getting shot, as long as it's the right people getting shot.
want done method
It's a question of methods. Everybody wants results, but nobody wants to do what they have to do to get them done.
