Top 10 Lessons Photography has Taught Me About the World (Part 1)

2. Every person has a great story to tell.
3. People who live out their wildest dreams are labeled eccentric, but they are most comfortable with themselves, and therefore always a good portrait subject.

9. If you are a nosy person, you can use your camera to enter the lives (and homes) of interesting people.

A Dream Deferred

What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
