Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great. Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make them.
Everyday life is like programming, I guess. If you love something you can put beauty into it.
Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.
It's never about the screwup - it's always about the recovery. That's the thing about it... if it comes out a little rare you call it carpaccio. It comes out a little overcooked, you shred it up and put in on a sandwich.
My parents made no money whatsoever, but they really knew how to see, as artists. So a big adventure might be, on a hot, dreadful day with no place to go, to go out and draw our chickens with pastels. My parents gave me a sense of wonder.
My style is to take something unexpected and make it into a hit. That's what I do.
I still haven't figured out how to have fun on a shoot.
I want to show the richness of even the most disagreeable bits of life.
Virtually always I get my best pictures when everybody thinks the shoot's done.
