Image
Everyone has a point of view. Some people call it style, but what we're really talking about is the guts of a photograph. When you trust your point of view, that's when you start taking pictures.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
Things happen in front of you. That's perhaps the most wonderful and mysterious aspect of photography.
