Every once in a while, it pays to listen to those annoying characters who are just waiting to tell you how to do your job.

I can’t tell you how many pictures I’ve missed just ’cause I’ve been so hell bent on getting the shot I think I want.

The most important piece of equipment in your bag is your attitude.

Always remember to make room to shoot what you love. It’s the only way to keep your heart beating as a photographer.

If you’re not having fun, your pictures will reflect that.

Our pictures are our footprints. It’s the best way to tell people we were here.

If you're not having fun, your pictures will reflect that.

No matter how much crap you gotta plow through to stay alive as a photographer, no matter how many bad assignments, bad days, bad clients, snotty subjects, obnoxious handlers, wigged-out art directors, technical disasters, failures of the mind, body, and will, all the shouldas, couldas, and wouldas that befuddle our brains and creep into our dreams, always remember to make room to shoot what you love. It's the only way to keep your heart beating as a photographer.
