I'm not a nice girl. I'm a photographer.
I took to photography like a duck to water. I never wanted to do anything else. Excitement about the subject is the voltage which pushes me over the mountain of drudgery necessary to produce the final photograph.
I do what I feel, that's all. I am an ordinary photographer working for his own pleasure. That's all I've ever done.
A natural-born photographer, with hypo in my blood.
If you are interested in photography because you love it and are obsessed with it, you must be self-motivated, a perfectionist, and relentless.
Growing up, I didn't give my grandfather's photography a second thought. I wasn't involved in his work, except that I helped my dad print his negatives.
Always remember to make room to shoot what you love. It's the only way to keep your heart beating as a photographer.
If I like many photographers, and I do, I account for this by noting a quality they share - animation. They may or may not make a living by photography, but they are alive by it.
