My thought:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best photos are simple, direct, and don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t need much detail.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s important? A compositional gesture and movement, strong subject, and strong contrast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. No need to obsess over gear <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the principal innovations of William Klein<\/a> and Daido Moriyama<\/a> was to create extremely contrary photos as a middle-finger to all the photo nerds who cared for sharpness, tones, and resolution. To me I love this, because anyone with any old camera can make stark and compelling images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rich often try to differentiate themselves with their gear. If you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t care for detail in photos, any camera will do (democratic photography). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
