- Ansel Adams 1983
“Light makes photography. Embrace light. Admire it. Love it. But above all, know light. Know it for all you are worth, and you will
know the key to photography.”
~George Eastman
Technical proficiency is highly over-rated.

TRY THIS:See if you can go one day of shooting EVERY time your inner voice say's, "I'd like to take a picture of that."

Love your experiments, as you would an ugly child.
