On the wonder of photography
For example, when you've had a particularly bad day, or work has had you in a tizzy, or you've got an ache or pain that's been bothering you . . . If you can just take a moment to look at something beautiful, or something that makes you smile, or something that is really cute, then - just for a moment - all your negative thoughts disappear.
If people can look at my photos and feel this way even for a moment, that is my greatest happiness.
