Always At The Edge
There is pleasure in failure. There is pleasure in trying. Pleasure in attempting to complete a creative idea through experimentation. Through stepping away from success. Through putting your feet just over the edge of the precipice and then leaning forward and sensing the muscles in your legs tightening, your arms and shoulder compensating to pull you away from danger, your head lifting away from the fall, your respiration and heart rate changing.
That precipice should be at the beginning of every photograph you make. Always at the edge of danger. At the edge of failure. At the edge of not coming back. Of not fearing the results but celebrating the experience.
