| You learn to see by practice. It's just like | Photography records the gamut of feelings |
| playing tennis, you get better the more you | written on the human face, the beauty of the |
| play. The more you look around at things, the | earth and skies that man has inherited and the |
| more you see. The more you photograph, the | wealth and confusion man has created. |
| more you realize what can be photographed | - Edward Steichen |
| and what can't be photographed. You just have | |
| to keep doing it. - Eliot Porter | You've got to push yourself harder. You've got |
| | to start looking for pictures nobody else could |
| No place is boring, if you've had a good | take. You've got to take the tools you have and |
| night's sleep and have a pocket full of | probe deeper. - William Albert Allard |

| | reactions and convictions. Ask yourself: |
