Lets talk about making images, ok?

You shoot an image, YOU are responsible for whats in it. And how it turns out.

DId I get to light this? Did I get in before they opened so there would be NO people. No. I went in like everyone else, paid my 12 Euros... And I PLANNED my images.

I shot at least 30 minutes on this image. Each image served PART of this.... either to correct for over or under exposure, to get rid of peoiple, to correct for vertical distortion.... something. This is NOT a single image, this is 45 images I put together to make a whole image.

That is what I want to point out to people.... YOU make ythe image, and you are speonsible for how it ends up.

I did not say, "Well there are tours going through, I will just have to live with people in the image." No, I MADE my image what I wanted ti to be.

So this is what I want to pass on. Don't make excuses... dont settle. Make IMAGES!
