° I can't picture life without a picture. Can you?

° I search for no friends. I search for no comment. I search for creativity. I search for shots. I search for perspectives, representing the world. A world that is wholly created, seen, and interpreted by humans.

° There's something to be said from Films. Like photos, moving pictures represents the same features and elements. Pictures are created by composure, lighting, intent/symbol, interpretation (though variable), tones, perspective & angle, focal lengths, dof, shutter speed, setting, and the creativity of humans. Films are the same, but require and hinge upon groups of human creativity; each person plays a part, whether as Director or Thespian, Set Designer or Gaffer, DP or PA ,or what-have-you. They focus not only on the individual shots and tableaux (which is, in effect, a photographic-still representation) but on the movement of pictures and their relationship to one-another.
In other words, "Films" is a medium that rivals Photography with motion, soundtrack(s), and relationship.
Each are beautiful in their own way. But I've discovered how beautiful it is to pair Pictures and Sound, esp. Music, together - the exquisiteness and gorgeousness brought together by the simple collision of segmented visual and aural elements.

° Often, the pictures we relish aren't the pictures they discover in the expanse of your vision

° When we look at the world, what do we see? Do we see what we want to see, or do we see the world as it is? I say both. I want people to see the world as it is and as it should be.

* Nothing disappoints a photographer more than finding blurry shots. could-have-beens hurt more than ugly, lost, or uninspired moments.

* To wander the city aimlessly, without purpose - it would be nonsensible to a tourist, yet sensical to a connoisseur of luminence.

° The whole world is our stage. It's up to photographers to take note of it.

° Shoot for the moon, and everything in between. Then shoot for the stars, and achieve your dream.
