Sage Advice from someone else

Just posted by a gent I know from the Net, who never ceases to astound and inspire me in many useful ways…

Advice for photography, and also for living.  If you can’t file down the subject lines and print your own field of endeavour in their place, you’re being FAR too literal.

A Reader Writes: I want to be a photographer someday. Any advice?

Yes, lots.

Go read this and let’s see what we can do. And then we’ll go shoot pictures.

Carry the damn camera.

I’m not really given to shooting still life shots, but once in a while one just reaches out and batters me about the head and shoulders until I have no options.

This is inside Nino’s, one of a trio of Italian restaurants run by a lovely couple whom I got to photograph for the paper.

REALLY nice light in those places. They’re a little out of my budget, what with the crashing newspaper business and all, but if I skip a few meals now and then I can probably afford both the cash and the calories once in a while.

This is why it’s important to keep a camera handy… because you just never know.

Lock and load… there’s some pretty light out there this evening, too.
