"Every assignment has it's ‘moment’. A moment when I look through the viewfinder and can actually say to myself, ‘that’s the shot’. It is a combination of location, subject, expression, lighting, camera angle and especially luck.
It’s like a good day in the kitchen. You throw all these ingredients into the mix, toss them up in the frying pan and hope to heck that you catch them at the right moment….the defining image. Caught for eternity."
