“Photography for me is not looking, it’s feeling. If you can’t feel what you’re looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures.”
- Don McCullin

Invest in your creativity: jump-start your creative fires and learn to understand, trust, and hone your photographic process.

For the record I’d just like to point out that I changed my signiture line at TPN and NPN to this quote 2 weeks ago.
I might quote you from time to time, but quoting you quoting someone else would be a little creepy.
Photography for me is looking at something and knowing that I’ll will be able to share that exact moment in time with someone else .
Whats pleasing to my eye, may please someone else .
JP – I suspect this is probably a different way of saying the same thing – afterall, why would you want to share a moment with someone unless you first felt something about it?
