I'm an amateur who has began this journey with my first camera at Jan 2011 and I'm very excited with this ongoing self-discovery experience. Your comments and constructive critics are always more then welcome. I thank you in advance for that.
Some of my inspiration:
"The goal is not to change your subjects, but for the subject to change the photographer." - Author Unknown
“ Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst." – Henri Cartier-Bresson
“ You’ve got to push yourself harder. You’ve got to start looking for pictures nobody else could take. You’ve got to take the tools you have and probe deeper." – William Albert Allard
“To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.” - Elliott Erwitt
"Although I take my work seriousily I cannot take myself seriously. When you think of it, everything has happened by accident. I have always believed that I don't own my photography, rather that it owns me." - Don McCullin
Thank you for sharing this journey with me!
