“My goals in photography are aesthetic, not economic.” – Thomas Locke Hobbs

“When I ask to photograph someone, it is because I love the way they look and I think I make that clear.
I’m paying them a tremendous compliment.
What I’m saying is, I want to take you home with me and look at you for the rest of my life.” – Amy Arbus
“You can’t be great without the greatness of others.” – Nick Sirianni
MOMENT BY MOMENT (This is how we make progress)
“Concentrate every minute… like a man on doing what’s in front of you with precise and genuine seriousness, tenderly, willingly, with justice.” — Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
This is how we make progress:
Moment by moment. Drip by drip.
Begin by focusing your attention on what you’re doing and why it matters.
Then, specify a desired goal and use each moment to work in that direction.
This is how we make progress:
Moment by moment. Drip by drip.
There’s no need to rush.
Taken together, those moments will multiply and lead to real progress.
Progress towards important goals that change things for the better.
What you have is this moment. So focus your attention, create a meaningful intention, and then take deliberate action.
This is how we make progress:
Moment by moment. Drip by drip.
Keep going.
