In my mind's eye, I visualize how a particular... sight and feeling will appear on a print. If it excites me, there is a good chance it will make a good photograph. It is an intuitive sense, an ability that comes from a lot of practice.
There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer.
A good photograph is knowing where to stand.
A photograph is usually looked at - seldom looked into.
You don't take a photograph, you make it.
Not everybody trusts paintings but people believe photographs.
