The best camera, is the one that you have with you!
The distance between where you are now and the path you think you should be on is probably smaller than you think it is
I don’t create art to get high dollar projects, I do high dollar projects so I can create more art.
Allow yourself the freedom to step away from perfection because it is only then that you can find success.
Creativity is the new literacy
The gear you can't afford is not the barrier keeping you from success. Gear has very little to do with photography.
Portfolios are everything, promises are nothing. Do the work.
It's really a great asset to be willing to fail and blow it, so to speak, and to be okay with just making stuff, sharing it and getting feedback.
It's the first time in the history of the world that creatives are also distributors. And that's very profound if you think that up until the recent history, permission was required for us to be able to share work at any sort of scale. We had to get permission from galleries, from ad agencies or photo editors to be able to have our work out there. And now anybody with access to a computer can show their work in 200 countries around the world.
Art is a subset of creativity.
Overcoming fear and conceiving this 'art of more' should be a fundamental practice in what it is that you do and make.
My experience says that if you put out a lot of personal work that's good, it tends to attract high dollar commercial work. But to be clear - I don't create art to get high dollar projects, I do high dollar projects so I can create more art.
