Inspiring quote for new Photographers

Belinda is always telling us to get out and talk to people and take their photos and don't be anxious about doing it.

In the March edition of the UK Professional Photographer magazine there is an article about 78 year old Dmitri Kasterine, English Photographer living in the US, The Personal Project pp.72-77, where it says,

He recalls an occasion involving a fellow pupil and friend at Radley College in Oxfordshire that proved a revelation in terms of his photographic career. "A very famous general came to inspect the cadets and after we were dismissd, this boy, Jake Sharp, walked straight up to him with his Rolleicord and said, 'I'd lke to take your photograph, sir.' The man was completely charmed by this bold boy and that made me realise that you have to step up with photography if you want to get anything done. I never forgot that."
