2013.10.14 Begin afresh each morning


There is no formula for a good photograph.
Mediocre pictures may follow a formula, good ones seldom do.
When the visual tools are used just right,
the design, lighting, mood, and emotion come together to just the right point,
and that point hits you
and you know what the photographer meant – that’s a good picture.
~ Ed Feingersh
