It is a passport to people and places and to possibilities Picture Quote #1

As a young person, and I know it’s hard to believe that I was shy, but you could take your camera, and it would take you to places: it was like having a friend, like having someone to go out with and look at the world. I would do things with a camera I wouldn’t do normally if I was just by myself Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I enjoy just photographing the surface because I think it can be as revealing as going to the heart of the matter Picture Quote #1
