Moment

The quote from Ansel Adams reminds me of those rare occasions when, without even looking, you know the image in the camera is going to be something special. It also connects with my belief that that great photography is as much about being truly present and atuned to the moment as it is about techical skill and ability.
Sometimes I do get to places just when God’s ready to have somebody click the shutter
Similarly, Eve Arnold wrote:
If the photographer is interested in the people in front of his lens, and if he is compassionate, it’s already a lot. The instrument is not the camera but the photographer.
