Image
I don't see light as something that falls, but as a positive force.

Image
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
Image
I'm a New Yorker. I don't believe in air unless I can see it.
Jay Maisel
Image
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
Image
There is no one solution to all problems. It's the problem itself that can lead to the solution.
Jay Maisel
Image
... 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
Image
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.

Image
You can't just turn on when something happens, you have to be turned on all the time. Then things happen.
