Photography taught me three things curiosity, composition, and patience — qualities very useful for painting.

Painting taught me three more things intensity, timing, and when to stop — qualities very important for life.

“…looking at, studying, and absorbing good photography serves the same purpose for a beginning photographer. That is because learning the components of a good image – composition, lighting, gesture – and seeing those elements used differently over and over by different masters, makes it easier for a person to achieve the same end on his or her own over time. And there is simply is no alternative to this, no shortcut.” Frank Van Riper
