| A good picture is equivalent to a good deed. | "Simply look with perceptive eyes at the |
| - Vincent Van Gogh | world about you, and trust to your own |
| | reactions and convictions. Ask yourself: |
| You learn to see by practice. It's just like | "Does this subject move me to feel, think |
| playing tennis, you get better the more you | and dream? Can I visualize a print - my own |
| play. The more you look around at things, the | personal statement of what I feel and want to |
| more you see. The more you photograph, the | convey - from the subject before me?" |
| more you realize what can be photographed | - Ansel Adams |
| and what can't be photographed. You just have | |

| | making a picture is a little like consulting the |
| | law of gravitation before going for a walk. |
