“As an emerging photojournalist in the early 70s, my focus was on trying to create stories for magazines to the exclusion of almost everything else. I wish someone had told me then that the most personally important pictures you’ll ever make are those about you and your life. I’m glad I had the chance to work for some great magazines, but I really miss those little everyday images, the ones that take place in and around your own life, which will never make the news. Don’t sell yourself short: photograph your own life, not just everyone else’s.” TryingLittlesImportantStoriesWishChanceFocusMissingNewsSellsEverydayPhotographGladMagazinesEmergingExclusionPhotojournalistsYourself Short Author:David Burnett

And what a dismal place this world would be!” MenWorldWayImportantWould BeEarthAnimalMankindThis WorldClothesPlantEverydayBreadGrassMeatDietsScrapPretentiousCereal Author:Hal Borland
