"Of these things, in this world, there is too little."
Sam Abell
One of my favorite photographers is Sam Abell. This is what he has taught me.
Anyone can grab a camera and take a picture. In fact, you can take a thousand pictures and at least half will turn out fantastic.The act of photography is simple. Press a button and BOOM you have a picture. But there is so much more to it than that.
It requires patience. LOADS of it.
Instead of being "snap happy" take 50 pictures and make each and every single shot the best shot. Be more AWARE of what is around you. Take the time to LOOK at what your capturing.
You have to wait.
Wait for the light.
Wait for the color.
Wait for the people to come in and finish the composition.
Search less and stand more.
Smile my friends. The world is beautiful.
