The Legacy of Sir William Osler. > http://www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant > 35 years of professional photography have taught me the following: Never say no, you can find a way to make the photograph Always understand the subject Beautiful photographs unsold can not buy the salt, pepper and good beer to wash them down Enjoy the greatest opportunity there is for learning about this wonderful world Remember you are only as good as your next photograph.
