“If there is a single factor which separates the best photographers from the wannabes it is the quantity of images which they produce. They seem to be forever shooting. I have watched many of them as they take picture after picture even when they are not photographing. [...] Often these intimate images do not look as though they were taken by the same photographer. And that is their fascination and charm.” IfsLooksSeemsForeverTakenProducePhotographyPhotographerFactorsShootingIntimateCharmQuantityFascinationWannabes Author:Bill Jay
