A propensity for making fortuitous discoveries while looking for something unrelated.

“An abstraction is something that’s not readily identifiable as a picture “of” something. It’s nonfigurative. Instead, it evokes associations and emotions by division of space in and of itself. However, most abstract artists didn’t consider their work as something disconnected from “reality” — on the contrary, they wanted their art to capture something more fundamental and “true” than mere pictorial representation. In fact, the very term “abstraction” implies the question — abstraction of what?”

Petteri Sulonen

Simply look with perceptive eyes at the world about you, and trust to your own reactions and convictions. Ask yourself: "Does this subject move me to feel, think and dream?"

Before you shoot an irresistible subject, mute all your senses except sight to find out how much is left for the camera to record.

Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again.

Photography is a medium to capture memories, when memory grows into sublime, photography becomes art.

Photgraphers are lousy editors.
