Steve Jobs: "Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith."

What you feed grows. What you starve dies. Choose what you feed.

To be a photographer, one must photograph. No amount of book learning, no checklist of seminars attended, can substitute for the simple act of making pictures. Experience is the best teacher of all. And for that, there is no guarantee that one will become an artist. Only the journey matters.

You do not become what you want, you become what you believe.

Your past does not determine who you are. Your past prepares you for who you are to become.

Never regret your past. Accept it as the teacher it is. Our most significant opportunities will be found in times of greatest difficulty.
