45. Carry your camera with you everywhere. Everywhere.
51. Print out your photos big. They will make you happy.
52. Give your photos to friends.
65. It is always better to underexpose than overexpose.
74. In terms of composition, photography and painting aren’t much different.
76. Make photos, not excuses.
