Personal Quote:

In shooting, you're racing. Like, if you get stuck on one shot, then you're compromising all the other shots you could do that day. So you can get it as close to perfect as you can. And then some shots you have to move on and you didn't get it the way you wanted. And that's a tiny tragedy, and then you carry that weight to the next one. See more »
