I Want To Be A

We Are Only Beginning To Learn What To Say In A Photograph. The World We Live In Is A Succession Of Fleeting Moments, Any One Of Which Might Say Something Significant.

With Photography, Everything Is In The Eye And These Days I Feel Young Photographers Are Missing The Point A Bit. People Always Ask About Cameras But It Doesn't Matter What Camera You Have. You Can Have The Most Modern Camera In The World But If You Don't Have An Eye, The Camera Is Worthless. Young People Know More About Modern Cameras And Lighting Than I Do. When I Started Out In Photography I Didn't Own An Exposure Meter - I Couldn't , They Didn't Exist! I Had To Guess.

I Enjoy Traveling And Recording Far-away Places And People With My Camera. But I Also Find It Wonderfully Rewarding To See What I Can Discover Outside My Own Window. You Only Need To Study The Scene With The Eyes Of A Photographer.

People Will Never Understand The Patience A Photographer Requires To Make A Great Photograph, All They See Is The End Result. I Can Stand In Front Of A Leaf With A Dew Drop, Or A Rain Drop, And Stay There For Ages Just Waiting For The Right Moment. Sure, People Think I'm Crazy, But Who Cares? I See More Than They Do!

I Don’t Use An Exposure Meter. My Personal Advice Is: Spend The Money You Would Put Into Such An Instrument For Film. Buy Yards Of Film, Miles Of It. Buy All The Film You Can Get Your Hands On. And Then Experiment With It.that Is The Only Way To Be Successful In Photography. Test, Try, Experiment, Feel Your Way Along. It Is The Experience, Not Technique, Which Counts In Camera Work First Of All. If You Get The Feel Of Photography, You Can Take Fifteen Pictures While One Of Your Opponents Is Trying Out His Exposure Meter.
