“The question is not whether a picture is good, in some formal, technical sense, but, does it mean what I need it to mean?

-- Thomas Roma -
“I approached photography the only way that I knew how to approach anything: as a job. I would get up, photograph all morning, stop and have lunch, and then, photograph all afternoon. I didn't think that I had to wait for some inspiration.”

“Beginning with the first bite, and for every bite after, that try to chew ten times.”
