Which am I first, photographer or artist? If all photographic technology were to disappear from the world, I will still seek ways of expressing myself creatively, and can find happiness in other forms of art. If all human interest in art were to disappear, I will likely seek a different profession and spend the rest of my days in misery.

n. the temptation to step off your career track and become a shepherd in the mountains, following your flock between pastures with a sheepdog and a rifle, watching storms at dusk from the doorway of a small cabin, just the kind of hypnotic diversion that allows your thoughts to make a break for it and wander back to their cubicles in the city.
‘The opposite of courage is not cowardice, its conformity.’

Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking that you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

Beautiful, clever and moving.
Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.
