My wife will tell you that I never go anywhere without a camera. This is the mantra I am also telling my students if they want to get better.

“The best camera is the one that’s with you.”

– Chase Jarvis

This is from last night just down the street from our neighborhood in Roswell, GA.

We had just eaten at one of our favorite Thai House restaurants and walked out to see this sky. I had my camera and got a few photos.

“In the right light, at the right time, everything is extraordinary.”

– Aaron Rose

Now I don’t always get what I imagine when I see something so spontaneous like this. You know I would love to have the Eiffel Tower in the skyline, but you make do with what is around you.

“Don’t pack up your camera until you’ve left the location.”

– Joe McNally

In less than five minutes, it was gone.

“In photography, you’ve got to be quick, quick, quick, quick. Like an animal and a prey.”

– Henri Cartier-Bresson

Where is your camera? Do you take it with you? If you rely mainly on your smartphone, why not just sell that other gear?

“Photography is a magical kind of art that allows people to preserve time and moments, and to describe the world the way they see it.”

– Sahara Sanders
