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.

More quotes by 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
The awareness of the quality of space in out photos is akin to our awareness of the very air in our photos, the atmosphere that pervades every square inch of our image and yet is often invisible to the photographer.
Jay Maisel
Since the background is as important as the subject, you mustn't let it default by chance. You must control not only vertical and horizontal, you must be aware of the depth of field (or lack of it) that you want in the background.
Jay Maisel
There is no one solution to all problems. It's the problem itself that can lead to the solution.
Jay Maisel
I'm a New Yorker. I don't believe in air unless I can see it.
Jay Maisel
The pictures are everywhere. If you're open, they will find you.
Jay Maisel
Each picture you take has power as long as it brings experience to the person who’s looking at it.
Jay Maisel
Try to go out empty and let your images fill you up.
Jay Maisel
I want to go out as unprepared as possible so I can get filled up with what the world has to offer.
Jay Maisel
Forget what it was. Look at what it is.
Jay Maisel
There are rules about perception, but not about photography.
Jay Maisel
Never say you're going back - SHOOT IT NOW!
Jay Maisel
We don't experience light, color, and gesture in a vacuum. We experience it in contexts.
Jay Maisel
Keep your mind open. You may very well learn something new about yourself and your pictures.
Jay Maisel
... there's one of the great lies of all times, that computers save time. They don't. They're time suckers. So, I'm trying not to get involved in the Photoshop.
Jay Maisel
It's not just when you shoot, or what you shot, or where you shoot, it's the combination of the three.
Jay Maisel
If you can capture the element of surprise, you're way ahead of the game.
Jay Maisel
One color alone means nothing. I acts as in a vacuum, with no other colors to relate to. It is only when colors relate to other colors that the fun begins.
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
You always end up with too many pictures to edit and too few that you feel 'got it'.
Jay Maisel
