John Gordon in British Columbia was a professional photographer and photo judge. I asked him how he ended up picking the winner? One thing he said was, "If the photo didn't hold my attention for more than three seconds, it was dismissed!" The Three Second Rule.

I use this rule when I go through my photos. Into the trash can, if less than stated.

Do have any quotes to share?



"Look at the picture my cellphone got while you're still fiddling!" Quote from Martha Norkus. (My wife.)

I pleaded the 5th. LoL

You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.
Ansel Adams.

Great quote--could you provide a source name for my quote collection? Thanks.


Miss Ford was our Art teacher in 1966, that believed photography and painting comes from the same base. “ You see, you capture”.

Analog quotes:

It was going to be one of my best photographs I had ever taken but someone turned the lights on while I was developing it.

Never put a freshly fired flashbulb in you pocket with ones that have not been fired.

Remember to cock the shutter and pull the dark slide.

The great Photographer Philippe Halsman (1906-1979) said: "Photography is like prostitution, first you do it because you like it, then you do it to please others and then you do it for money"

From my college orchestra conductor: "Never make the same mistake once." From the same man: "Don't play everything so damn fast. Play some things only half fast." I might add: "Don't make every photo so vast. "Make some photos only half-vast."
