Don't Take Everything


An important lesson I learnt from master photographer Jeffrey Wong! This picture was taken in the famed Chatuchak market in Bangkok, Thailand. I was taking many pictures including this one, when my friend Jef walked over and gave me an important lessong I will always remember, "Don't take everything."

Some of the many pitfalls of digital photography includes complacency and the unseeing eye. When the price of storage is generously low, and the room for error unfathomable, our ability to selectively capture beauty diminishes.
