A philosophy
The camera must become an extension of your body, with its controls manipulated instinctively and intuitively. Your consciousness becomes its consciousness. The art lies in communicating  your soul though the fall of light in a suspended instant of time, look for those moments at the edges, of day and night, land and sea, forest and plain, city and country, life and death. Look for the deep song of the visual world. For the duende. Search also in the details, in the detritus of a tideline, in the crystal of a snowflake and in the emptiness where less is more and perfection is obtained when nothing else can be removed. 
But do remember the lens cap!
