Bill Jay Quotes
If there is a single factor which separates the best photographers from the wannabes it is the quantity of images which they produce. They seem to be forever shooting. I have watched many of them as they take picture after picture even when they are not photographing. Often these intimate images do not look as though they were taken by the same photographer. And that is their fascination and charm.
