as much as i love pictures that have been set up, and as important as those pictures are to me, i’d rather photograph something that occurs on it’s own. the tension between those two kinds of photographs is at the heart of what i do. it’s not a conflict, but sometimes it’s useful to remember that things are happening right in front of you and that you don’t have to complicate the situation. you can take what’s given to you. you just need your mind and eye. - annie leibovitz

Probably.

What if you could trade-in some of your free stuff for fabulous wealth, fulfilling
work, gorgeous looks, or anything else that your heart desired? Would it all be
worth it?

Does a bear sleep in the woods? Is the Pope Catholic? Would you like syrup with
your French Toast?

Visualize. Before the price goes up.
