Florida Keys 09_463-23

The greatest photograph in the world could be around the corner, at the end of this road, beyond the bridge. This is what we tell ourselves. We keep looking, and hoping that the situation will change and magically we will be empowered to take better photographs. Every photographer has a crutch, even the best. For some, if they could  only get x or y lens or camera. For others, like me, if I could only afford to travel to some amazing place...

Stop making excuses. Stop obsessing over other people's work. Stop being demoralized by whatever limitation you think you might have. Go out there, even if think you know your surroundings well. Drag yourself out there even if what you see does not inspire you. It's all there, just waiting for you to change the way you see.
