Quotes
I remember when I got to the stage in commercials when I finally had enough time and enough money, I would shoot something really pretty, but it was like, 'So what?' If you have enough time, enough money, the right equipment and the right filter, it still doesn't necessarily make for a better picture. You can do an average painting with 40 colors, or you can just take a pencil and make a great drawing.
