Memorable Quotes:  

"You want to share what you want to keep shooting and you want to shoot what you love."

 "If you don’t believe in yourself, who will? You just have to go for it. The worst case is a no—but if you don’t try, you’ll never know."

 "Experience is priceless. The ability to anticipate moments and know what’s going to happen before it happens is something that comes with time."
