Learn about your camera and how it can reveal the kind of artist you really are. The kind of artist whose compelling voice and vision has not yet been discovered or completely articulated.

Learn about yourself. And learn about your heart.

Develop the confidence to photograph people you never have met before or those you have known your whole life. 

Develop the discipline to follow the rules, and then the attitude to break the rules.
