Jay Maisel
If you don't have a camera, the best thing you can do is describe how great it looked.
Jay Maisel
I take pictures, and they are there for the taking. I'll tell you a quote that I have always thought about. Arthur Miller said, I try to create the poem from the evidence.
Jay Maisel
If you're not shooting in the right direction, it doesn't matter how well you're shooting.
Jay Maisel
Failing is not a problem. Not trying is a problem.
