You want a place where you can be serene that will let you contemplate and connect two consecutive thoughts, or that if need be can stir you up as you were made to be stirred up, until you blend with the wind and water and earth you almost forgot you came from… There must be room enough for time - where the sun can calibrate the day, not the wristwatch, for days and weeks of unordered time, time enough to forget the feeling of pavement and to get the feel for the earth, and what is natural and right.

The prejudice many photographers have against colour photography comes from not thinking of colour as form. You can say things with colour that can’t be said in black and white… Those who say that colour will eventually replace black and white are talking nonsense. The two do not compete with each other. They are different means to different ends.
— Edward Weston
Leadership begins with an internal sense of self-confidence, emotional intelligence and balance that brings forth an authentic leadership presence.

Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic

While taking criticism on board can be constructive, it can also be detrimental to the creative process if it’s considered while that process is still under way. It undermines one’s enthusiasm and will — which is OK, beneficial even, but only after a tour (for example) is over.
— David Byrne
The frightening and most difficult thing about being what somebody calls a creative person is that you have absolutely no idea where any of your thoughts come from really and especially you don’t have any idea about where they’re going to come from tomorrow.
— Hal Riney
