Photography has nothing to do with photography. Photography has everything to do with positioning your mind, body, and spirit, on the frontlines of life.
A cohesive composition is easy to nail. A decisive moment is simple to capture. Layering complex elements of light and shadow and telling a story is not hard.
The difficult part?
Being there, being present, and engaged with the scene on the frontlines of life, close to humanity, at the moment you press the shutter. There is no ABC, 123, on how to see. A photographer must feel first, and think later.
A photograph is a reflection of your heart, your courage, your lust for life.
