“As a senior in high school my counselor recommended that I soften my science and math direction with an art course. Fortunately my high school offered a new course in B&W photography, so I opted for that instead of art, towards which I had an aversion. Composition is something that comes pretty naturally to me and I appreciate ordered chaos: the photo class turned out to be fun.” ArtSchoolCoursesFunClassPhotographyHigh SchoolAppreciateChaosMathCompositionSeniorAversionCounselorHigh School Senior Author:Peter Menzel

“When assignments were over, photography continued. One of the primary reasons it did was that I wanted and needed to have fresh work. Also, it's very stimulating to be around non-professional photographers. They're the ones with the purest flame burning about their photography. I appreciate that.” ReasonWantedNeededPhotographyAppreciatePhotographerBurningPrimariesFlamesAssignmentsProfessional Photographer Author:Sam Abell
“I can appreciate the idea that with e-books more people would publish, the work would be easier to disseminate, and that it could even be interactive. Being a lover of photography, I especially like the idea that you could include lots of pictures - full-color pictures - with your writing. That to me is exciting!

“As a professional photographer I take photographs for other people to see - but I want them to see what I see. So I never assume that only a few people will appreciate what I do.
