Murphy's photography laws

You are not Ansel Adams
Neither are you Herb Ritz
If it's stupid but it works, it isn't stupid
Success occurs when no one is looking, failure occurs when the Client is watching
Photo Assistants are essential, they give photographers someone to yell at
Weather never cooperates
Everything always works in your home, everything always fails on location
For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism
There is always a way, and it usually doesn't work
Never tell the Photo Editor you have nothing to do
No photojournalist is well dressed
No well dressed photographer is a photojournalist
Professional photographers are predictable; the world is full of dangerous amateurs
The children shots invariably happen on two occasions:-when children are ready.-when you're not.
There is no such thing as a perfect shoot
The important things are always simple
The simple things are always hard
The lens that falls is always the most expensive.
Photo experience is something you never get until just after you need it
