I have many favorite quotes, but speaking of photography I love the one from  Herman Melville whose books I read as a young girl.  “It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation” he says. He doesn’t mean we don’t have to learn from the others. We do have to learn a lot if we don’t want to keep reinventing  the wheel. What we don’t have to do is compromising our vision.

If you have time, please watch this loving tribute to a great master. RIP Marvell Smith.

Please share your favorite quote with me, and tell why it touched your heart.

Tip of the day: Study your camera manual.

Have a great day!
