Truth comes out in wine.
I can't say what makes a picture. I can't say. It's mysterious.
I wish more people felt that photography was an adventure the same as life itself and felt that their individual feelings were worth expressing. To me, that makes photography more exciting.
I guess I've shot about 40,000 negatives and of these I have about 800 pictures I like.
If you choose your subject selectively - intuitively - the camera can write poetry.
Experience is the best teacher of all. And for that, there are no guarantees that one will become an artist. Only the journey matters.
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.
People are good people. If they know what's going on, and they can relate to it, they can be moved to do something. If they can never see it or never relate to it, they continue to stay disconnected.

Ah, well. Life's too short for moderation, wouldn't you say?
I don't really think of my narrator in terms of gender. I think of them much more in basic emotional terms. As an author, you either love yer peeps or you don't. There's no such thing as a "masculine voice" or a "feminine voice". Men and women think and speak and act in, like, a zillion different ways. Also, as a gross generalization: women tend to live closer to their feelings than men.
