However spontaneous I hope a photograph will look, I always put a lot of thought into how I can make it happen. The very best pictures are the most relaxed, so a lot of fussing around technically can completely break the spell, and everyone freezes up with nerves.

My pictures are my eyes. I photograph what I see - and what I want to see.

You have to make it happen.

Awareness makes us emotionally brilliant!

If you can honestly say that you are fully aware of what you’re up against in life, you are brilliant. Being aware means you are informed―alert, knowledgeable, sophisticated―and you have the tools to visualize, strategize, focus, and win.

The more aware you are of life and its difficulties, of how people act and their effect on you, of your own quirks and how you handle both good and bad situations, the better off you are. But how many of us are that aware?

Remove the temptation to settle for anything short of what you deserve.

Your desire to succeed must overpower your fear of failure!
