“The whole point of taking pictures is so that you don’t have to explain things with words.” — Elliott Erwitt
Thank you for all the new views and likes from last week, it helps keep me inspired.

Some of the 36 stickers on my water bottle from each one of the US National Parks I have visited. Let’s hope that I will be able to visit them all before they disappear.

“It’s all ego. That’s why it’s helpful to call it “the work.” That simple “the” helps separate the stuff we make from us. I can take a bad photo without becoming a bad photographer or, worse, a bad person. (Illogical as it seems, it can sometimes feel that way.) Some work is better than others, and I’m able to see that—and get better—because I don’t see any one photo as a statement about me, Chase. Chase deserves unconditional love. Some of my photos, not so much.” — Chase Jarvis
“Above all, I craved to seize the whole essence, in the confines of one single photograph, of some situation that was in the process of unrolling itself before my eyes.” — Henri Cartier-Bresson
