where I would like to get to

"my lack of knowledge in the beginning really helped, and really just made me refine what little I knew to make it work. I think if you ask any person that does a creative thing, they probably go to school and learn all these different things and as they get better it just narrows and narrows. you could ask most chefs, they just need five ingredients, one pan and a stick of butter and they can make the best meal you've ever had. and I think that's really where most photographers would like to get to, as not to have all that other stuff, be able to create the most beautiful image they can in the most simple way that they can."

- Scott Schumann aka The Satorialist, Intel Visual Life

great quote. the sartorialist is so inspirational. I really take what he said there to heart, because I definitely started out feeling blind and knowing nothing. But now, I think of what an amazing time that was! I am still learning, but with a bit more direction now, and it is so fun!
