“One of the biggest mistakes a photographer can make is to look at the real world and cling to the vain hope that next time his film will somehow bear a closer resemblance to it...If we limit our vision to the real world, we will forever be fighting on the minus side of things, working only too make our photographs equal to what we see out there, but no better.” IfsWorldLooksRealFilmFightingNextSidesMistakeVisionForeverBearsLimitsEqualPhotographyPhotographerPhotographVainReal WorldNext TimeResemblanceMinusBiggest MistakeFighting On Author:Galen Rowell
