The Beauty Of The Past Belongs To

The Element Of Discovery Is Very Important. I Don't Repeat Myself Well. I Want And Need That Stimulus Of Walking Forward From One New World To Another. There Is Something Demoralizing About Going Back To A Place To Retake Pictures. You Can No Longer See Your Subjects In A Fresh Eye; You Keep Comparing Them With The Pictures You Hold In Your Memory. [the] World Was Full Of Discoveries Waiting To Be Made...(as A Photographer) I Could Share The Things I Saw And Learned...you Would React To Something All Others Might Walk By.

The Camera Is A Remarkable Instrument. Saturate Yourself With Your Subject, And The Camera Will All But Take You By The Hand And Point The Way.
