Jay Maisel
You cannot accurately remember color.

Jay Maisel
You sort of have to be always aware, even when you're not thinking of shooting. That's when the best stuff happens.
Jay Maisel
Color is seductive. It changes as it interacts with other colors, it changes because of the light falling upon it, and it changes as it becomes larger in size.
Jay Maisel
Forget what it was. Look at what it is.
Jay Maisel
First, perseverance trumps talent. Second, do what you want to do, otherwise why bother? Third, be ethical it might rub off on others. Fourth, don't give up.
Jay Maisel
Had I not been told to look, I would have quite, ignorant of what was really there, because I had 'made plans' and was wearing visual and emotional blinders that limited my perceptions and my vision.
Jay Maisel
There is no bad light. There is spectacular light and difficult light. It's up to you to use the light you have.
Jay Maisel
Keep your mind open. You may very well learn something new about yourself and your pictures.
