Sometimes it's good to know where you're going, or where you've been. But it's even more important to know where you are... right now... at this very moment. So, ask yourself if you're where you want to be. And if you're not... do something about it.
One of the most valuable things I learned this weekend was something Mike Davis said... "If you want to grow your photography, grow your self." He was telling us a story about how Magnum photographer Chien-Chi Chang's photos are incredibly lyrical and poetic and unassuming, and how that's because Chang is one of the most lyrical, poetic and unassuming people he knows. Who he is... is what he does. He believes that the best way to expand your work is to expand who you are, and what you do.
Makes sense.
If you are here, and you want to be there. Go.
