The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known
defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found
thier way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a
sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with
compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do
not just happen

Elizabeth Kubler Ros

“The greatest fear is the fear of the unknown”

Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes.

Don’t resist them – that only creates sorrow.

Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.

- Laozi

People often ask me what makes a good picture.  What makes the good picture stand out from the average?

Here is one answer:

If we look at the photographers whose work we admire,  we see that they’ve found a particular place, theme, or subject, dug deep into it, and carved out something that’s become special.  That takes a lot of time and a lot of work; it’s not for everyone.  A great photograph really needs to say something about a person or give some insight into their life or how their life is different than yours and mine.  A good picture makes us curious and makes us want to know more.
