thanks for posting this. i was reading this earlier as well, and it's jam-packed with incredible insight. anyone who's serious about photography ought to read what this man has to say.
I saw a peanut stand, heard a rubber band,
I saw a needle that winked its eye.
But I think I will have seen everything
When I see an elephant fly.

"I do not presume to tell anyone how they should take photographs. I believe we all see differently, which is what gives each of us our unique style. When we follow our brain we are limited by our own understanding, but when we follow our heart we tap into a bigger picture."
Ok i read it...the whole thing was good, i think he should be a writter. =)
"The technical aspects of a shot are secondary to capturing the spirit of a moment. Some years back, at my sister's bidding, I judged a junior school photo competition. Some of the work was good; some was average. But there was one landscape shot which was just awesome. It had been taken at sunset by an eight year old boy with a disposable camera, through the window of a bus travelling at 100 km (60 miles) per hour. Against all odds, this shot really worked. It sure humbled me." - I'll tell my dad taht next time i take a shot out of the window.
Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand.

I’m glad you are all getting something from that link. There is so much wisdom there. I like rule 1 “The bottom line is: There are no rules. If an image works, it works; if it doesn't, it doesn't.”
