I am old school and I believe:
I believe grass is green, oranges are orange and skin should be the color of, well, skin.
I believe a professional photographer should know and use the power of light.
I believe most people appreciate being photographed in a flattering pose.
I believe cheese is a naughty word and we should not instruct our children to say it. Ever.
I believe there's nothing wrong with treating a pet as a member of the family.
I believe a portrait on the wall has much more value than a snapshot in a shoebox. Or a file on a disc.
I believe everyone should have a current portrait of themselves, it's probably the best thing our loved ones could possibly have to remember us by.
And most of all,
I believe we should treasure our family, our friends, and all of those around us, for they sustain us.
