Take your camera off automatic. You are the photographer.
A camera exposes more than just an image. It also exposes the photographer.
Laugh, love, dream, strive, smile, feel, joy, look, try, fail, read, walk, search, share, help, work, fun, learn, retry, sweat, cry, rest, wait, fear, hope, trust, pride... when we have lived all of these, our photography might stop being a record of what our camera sees and become an expression of what we as photographers feel.
Light is my brush. Film is my canvas.
