Follow Through With Your Photography Ideas

The great photographer Minor White used to say to young shooters, 

"You need to learn to listen the messages."

  We spotted this barn being taken down by a couple near Belle Plaine, Minnesota. I was in route to an assignment in the Dakota's and made a note to myself to stop the next day on the way back if they were still there working. They were!

I returned for four straight days as they dismantled the entire barn, loaded onto a semi truck and took it to New Mexico where they planned on building a cabin. Great way to recycle old wood. It was a earthy & interesting story.

I then sold numerous stories to magazines with several images being used in advertising campaigns because of those stories.

Follow your instincts and more importantly, follow through.
If it's a good idea, find a way to share it.
