The problem suggests the solution.
There really isn’t anything that you could call ‘bad’ color. It all has to do with the amount of color you use and in what context it appears.
Color is seductive. It changes as it interacts with other colors, it changes because of the light falling upon it, and it changes as it becomes larger in size.
One color alone means nothing. I acts as in a vacuum, with no other colors to relate to. It is only when colors relate to other colors that the fun begins.
You will, in time, see and show others not just the superficial, but the details, the meanings, and the implications of all that you look at...
We have always wanted to find the ‘it-ness’ of anything we shoot. We want to get as deep into the subject as we can.
There are rules about perception, but not about photography.
Every picture should have a place you can go, a home, a climax.
Pain is not a conduit to art or joy.
Each picture you take has power as long as it brings experience to the person who’s looking at it.
The best camera is the one you have with you.
You cannot accurately remember color...
You have to have a lot of ‘overage’ so that your failures aren’t the only thing you come home with. You’ve got to have a lot of things that were magnificent failures, but you want some magnificent successes.
Be aware of every square millimeter of your frame.
If you can capture the element of surprise, you’re way ahead of the game.
As people, we love pattern. But interrupted pattern is more interesting.
If you don’t have a camera, the best thing you can do is describe how great it looked.
You see shape, and how the light hits things, how the color changes from one end of the photo to the other, and how movement affects the mood of the photo.
You must not think of yourself as looking at the stage from the audience. You must think of it as theatre in the round and look at it from all sides.
What you’re shooting at doesn’t matter, the real question is: ‘Does it give you joy?’
