You Know, The Camera Is

The Subject Matter Is So Much More Important Than The Photographer.

You Have A 45mm Automatic Pistol On Your Lap, And I Have A 35mm Camera On My Lap, And My Weapon Is Just As Powerful As Yours. (to Black Panther Militant Eldridge Cleaver)

Enthusiasm Is The Electricity Of Life. How Do You Get It? You Act Enthusiastic Until You Make It A Habit. Enthusiasm Is Natural; It Is Being Alive, Taking The Initiative, Seeing The Importance Of What You Do, Giving It Dignity And Making What You Do Important To Yourself And To Others.

Photography Was My Choice Of Weapons.
