Some advices for picturing

“If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough.”
“Taking pictures is savoring life intensely, every hundredth of a second.”
“The best thing about a picture is that it never changes, even when the people in it do.”
“You don't take a photograph, you make it.”


Today's motivation

I do not want to be cynical, but if developing nations are kept backward by being told, again and again, you belong to the poor and you are there, where you actually belong, then nothing will change.
- Paul Kagame


Education

“Without education, your children can never really meet the challenges they will face. So it’s very important to give children education and explain that they should play a role for their country.”
-Nelson Mandela


A good thing about pictures

“You need to use [a hat] when you have to, such as when it’s raining. Or, when you just feel like it. Sometimes you wear it because you need to get the sun out of your eyes. Think about flash in the same way. Don’t use it all the time, but also don’t shy away from it. If it’s dark outside, use flash. If you know there’s time, and you have a good idea, and your clients will love it, then go for it.”
– Matt Kennedy
