There is no express lane in photography.  The real pleasure of being a photographer is that it requires a lifetime commitment to learning. Being a photographer is not a destination but a journey.  Enjoy the ride and keep your eyes open.

I’ve always made photos that an editor wanted to buy and never worried about pretty pictures or pictures that other photographers would like or rave about.  Photography to me is more of a means to and end, of putting food on the table and making enough money so I can retire to something other then poverty. 

I spent 31 years working for hire and witnessing my photos being cropped wrong and chopped up however editors needed to fit the left over hole after spreading their type in artful uninteresting formations.

Today I make photos when and where I want and sell them to the highest bidder.  Money talks and bullshit walks.
