Image
The drama of light exists not only in what is in the light, but also in what is left dark. If the light is everywhere, the drama is gone.
Jay Maisel
Image
Remember that most people (those who are not photographers) don't even see the things that you missed. Many don't even look. Ergo, you are way ahead of the game.
