:: Be bold and daring! If you see something that strikes your fancy, pull the car over to the side of the road and get out. {That's a looong way from my "normal" character.}
:: There is no time like the present. If you don't stop and get the shot RIGHT NOW it will be gone tomorrow.
:: Being behind the lens of a camera is a little bit like being an actor. You can do things that you might never attempt if you were just "being yourself."
:: Listen to the light. It will tell you what direction to take.
:: Wait. Listen. Look. Wait some more. Only then can you proceed with confidence.
:: It's all about perspective. Make yours different.
:: Look for obscurity. The little things are so much more interesting than the stuff that everyone sees all the time.
:: Patience. You're never too old to learn.

You are so right. Last night I was in McComb and looking for my picture-a-day. I had already shot more than 400 frames at a VBS but none would be the PAD. I was driving around town looking for a shot and stopped at a grain elevator that looked interesting. When I got out of the car I noticed the sky was beginning to take its evening shape and just as I got everything set up in my viewfinder (auto of course) a train came blazing by. I caught 10-15 frames that suddenly made my PAD choice difficult when only a moment earlier I had nothing. Last night's PAD is now my wallpaper.
Thanks for all the tips. They are each one very true.
Don't look now but I'm beginning to blog! I'll bet that can get addictive.
