"It's important to take bad pictures. It's the bad ones that have to do with what you've never done before. They can make you recognize something you hadn't seen in a way that will make you recognize it when you see it again." Diane Arbus

I love to take pictures of everything and anything that interests me. I always try to have my camera with me. Wether its my Leica or just my camera phone, I always need to have something to shoot with. I've never taken any "classes" for photography, just in high school, which is where I got the bug. I would just go to my library, (before the internet), and read books on everyone from Stieglitz to Irving Penn to Walker to Adams to Weegee. Photography just became my love. I'm so glad we now live in an age where you can take a shot, be your own editor, then be your own printer and have it framed by the afternoon on your wall. Ain't digital awesome??!!! I still love my Rollei and the images can't be touched but I love the instant gratification of digital photography. Well, my theory is just keep shooting and learning. There's so much to learn, especially from all the great photogs on here. Thanks for reading and keep shooting!!
