Words to live by...

Every industry has "words to live by." Which ones can we come up with for photography (and related subjects, however peripheral)?

I'll start.

If you use a rangefinder or viewfinder camera, you must always remember two extremely important words...

"LENS CAP"

If you don't option your camera to warn you of this fact:
"Insert CF/SD card"

" its not the camera or equipment, its the person holding the camera or equipment "

You are your own worst critic. Get an outside opinion from some one you trust.

Note: This should also apply to "Idol" applicants only it would read "You have no clue how bad you sound, get an opinion from someone who would tell you the truth" :-/

Stop chimping, shoot in RAW, learn from your mistakes when you get home. Cause when you miss the shot or catch it too late, it really is too late!

Oh, and smile more

Wayne Gretzky's quote about life and hockey applies.

"you miss 100% of the shots you don't take"

And, statistically, 99% of the ones you do

BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP!
