We All Start In This Medium Because Of The Magic And The Challenge Is To Keep It Going.

You Can Also See Sometimes That The Best Pictures Are The Ones Where You Didn't Try So Hard, Where You Were Just Enjoying The Process - And You Didn't Even Know Why You Were Making The Picture. It Felt Right. If Someone Asked, 'why Are You Making This Picture?' You Probably Couldn't Describe It Very Well - And That's Why It Needs To Be A Photograph.

I've Found Even After Nearly 30 Years Of Doing This, There Are All Kinds Of New Surprises That Rear Their Heads At Various Times And I Truly Believe That 51% Of The Images, Success Takes Place In The Darkroom.

The Greatest Compliment That I Know How To Pay Another Photographer Is To Say, 'i Never Would Have Made That Photograph Myself. I'm Sure Glad You Did.' You Hope Along The Way That Maybe, Once In A While, You Do That For Someone Else.

And Then As I Frequently Do, Some Times I'll Peek Out From Underneath The Focusing Cloth And Just Look Around The Edges Of The Frame That I'm Not Seeing, See If There's Something That Should Be Adjusted In Terms Of Changing The Camera Position.
