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.

All these factors are only valuable if you're curious. But in any case, the more knowledge you have, the more things are open and available to you.
Jay Maisel
Image
It's not just when you shoot, or what you shot, or where you shoot, it's the combination of the three.
Jay Maisel
Image
Try to go out empty and let your images fill you up.
Jay Maisel
Image
There really isn't anything that you could call 'bad' color. It all has to do with the amount of color you use and in what context it appears.

I love when pictures ask questions or make others ask questions.
