" Great photography is about more than just creating a record of the image in front of us.
It is about expression, telling a story, and sharing an idea or feeling through that image.
And it is about possessing the skills to take what you have visualized in your mind and making it a reality in the form of a photograph. 
And that takes more than just a single piece of equipment to create a masterpiece."

"The photographer sees the world as a child sees the bits of glass in a kaleidoscope. If he has a camera with which he can secure these
ever-changing combinations, he is then able to look on them again and again, and he has the further pleasure of pleasing others with sight of things which he, with perhaps unusual opportunities, was able to see, which his friends would otherwise never be able to."

November 2017 Tips


Good photography depends far more on skill than it does gear. Good cameras don’t guarantee great photographs, and several professional photographers have been known to shoot with disposable cameras. The secret to great photography is rooted in having a solid understanding of the technical elements of photographs and how they interact with one another.

March 2013 Tip:

The first golden tip that I can offer about use and type of camera to purchase is never to forget  that the best camera to own is the one that is with you at the time.
So make sure you have a camera that is with you so that you will never have to miss "capturing the moment"
