Follow your instincts – Daido: I am like a Dog.

Having Modest Ambitions in your Photography
My Ambitions are probably quite modest, but i think if you can resonate with a few people, just touch a few people, if they recognize something in your work, I think it’s worthwhile.
Editing begins in the viewfinder
In Photography, editing is of utmost importance, but often overlooked in today’s immediate world. It defines who you are as a photographer and it begins in the viewfinder.
Street Photography is 99.9% about Failure.
Luck – or perhaps serendipity – plays a big role… But you never know what is going to happen. And what is most exciting is when the utterly unexpected happens.
As with Life, it’s not how long you have photographed…
Quote: As with Life, it’s not how long you have photographed, it’s how intense.
Feel Before You Shoot. Think Before You Write.
Often times we see a wonderful photograph scarred by a badly written caption or title. Let the photograph emote, and it should if you photograph with passion and emotion, and let the caption/title text be a simple description or statement of facts. Simplicity works, always will – Feel before you shoot, think before you write that caption.
