I was listening to Michael Reichmann interview Jay Maisel in the latest issue of the absolutely superb Luminous Landscape Video Journal (if you have never seen an issue of the video journal, you owe it to yourself to have a look.....see here) and really enjoyed what they had to say. Lots of words of wisdom from Mr. Maisel. Two that struck me are:
"People are more interested in the quality of their pixels than they are in the quality of their picture"

When discussing marked digital image manipulation after capture:
"I am not at all interested in showing how clever I am once I take the picture. My cleverness, if it exists at all, is in seeing something that's there and showing it to you"

I also enjoyed Michael Reichmann's interview with Jay Maisel. It sort of left me saddened, because when it comes to Jay's wisdom, is anyone really listening? This is an old article, but there is lots of wisdom included. My favourite line is this:
“If it didn't look good before you shot it, it ain't gonna get any better by passing through the camera.”
