"Photography, if you want to be scientific or academic about it, is the fetishisation or freezing of a moment in time. But aside from the technical - the camera, kit, etc - what makes a particular photograph interesting depends on what you and your viewer’s interests are. We might as well state the obvious at this point: it’s entirely subjective and down to how you view the world, what truths you think apply to it, and what fascinates you. If you like cats and cars (and, goodness, so many people do) then the cuter the cat, the sleeker the car, the better the photograph. To you, at least."

"You can enjoy photography as a relaxing hobby and as a way to express your creativity. With so much of life only being seen once, being able to capture moments and then view them at a later time is a wonderful tool for reflection. As the saying goes, “A picture’s worth 1000 words." Above all else, photography is an art form meant to be enjoyed. Use photography to create memories that last a lifetime, reminding you of places you’ve been and people you’ve known. Always have fun taking pictures, and remain enthusiastic to learn new skills."

"Let your creativity run wild on that particular subject you have chosen, and as long as it is not some hugely over-photographed subject such as Yosemite National Monument, the Taj Mahal, the Eiffel Tower or Kate Moss, then you may soon find that you are the greatest photographer in the world… of that particular subject you have chosen."
