Jay Maisel
Image
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
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.
Jay Maisel
Image
If you're not shooting in the right direction, it doesn't matter how well you're shooting.
Jay Maisel
