If you care about something, you will take better pictures of it. 2. Take time to shoot what you enjoy and what's important to you. 3. It's not a picture until it's a print. 4. Take pictures of bad things and sad times as well as the good. 5. New camera gear will result in different photographs, but rarely better photographs. 6. The easy and most obvious shot is the one everybody already has. 7. Manuals are not written by photographers. 8. Looking at great photographs helps you to make great photographs. 9. If all else fails, search this site. RB,

A few of my own:

1. If you care about something, you will take better pictures of it.

2. Take time to shoot what you enjoy and what’s important to you.

3. It’s not a picture until it’s a print.

4. Take pictures of bad things and sad times as well as the good.

5. New camera gear will result in different photographs, but rarely better photographs.

6. The easy and most obvious shot is the one everybody already has.

7. Manuals are not written by photographers.

8. Looking at great photographs helps you to make great photographs.

9. If all else fails, search this site.

If i could just share a tiny little bit of what I have seen. I am sure so many others feel the same. RB Rob,

If I could show anyone what I saw that would be amazing. If i could just share a tiny little bit of what I have seen. I am sure so many others feel the same.

It's not trying to look the same as what you saw. It's a layer of abstraction away from reality, and so has a better chance of suceeded or failing on its own merits.
