Don’t pack up your camera until you’ve left the location.

~ Joe Mcnally

No matter how much crap you gotta plow through to stay alive as a photographer, no matter how many bad assignments, bad days, bad clients, snotty subjects, obnoxious handlers, wigged-out art directors, technical disasters, failures of the mind, body, and will, all the shouldas, couldas, and wouldas that befuddle our brains and creep into our dreams, always remember to make room to shoot what you love. It’s the only way to keep your heart beating as a photographer.

~ Joe Mcnally

John Loengard, the picture editor at Life, always used to tell me, ”If you want something to look interesting, don’t light all of it.

~ Joe Mcnally

Unpredictability. Accidents. Not good when you’re engaging in, say, brain surgery, but when lighting...wonderful!
