Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Photography isn’t just happy accidents. With intention, anything is possible. I’m living proof-
Example 1: Rainbow in Logan Square
I’m gonna photograph the rainbow, I’m gonna photograph the rainbow. I’m speaking it into existence. Somebody is going to leap in front of it in a glorious position, and I’m going to photograph it right now. I’m going to be patient and I’m going to wait here, because I believe I’m going to capture this image with all of my heart. I’m going to sit inside this water until it happens.
The best photographers are able to manifest their vision in reality. Street photography isn’t all lucky or happy accidents. Street photography requires consistency, discipline, courage, and curiosity. Through your intuition, your god-like ability to put order to chaos, you can create a photograph of anything you can dream of.
Example 2: Jesus in Mexico City
If you get the guy in the right spot, you can get Jesus and the guy.”
A photograph is a reflection of your courage, your heart.
