Quote -  For me it's what ever strikes me while out on a shoot. Sometimes I have pre-conceived ideas on a location that I might want to shoot, but on the way there something might catch my eye and I never make it to my intended destination. That use to kind of annoy me that I would so easily be distracted, like I had A.D.D. or something. But to my surprise some of my best stuff has been shot unexpectedly because I strayed from my original plan.

Been there, done that, completely understand where Dave is coming from here.  Some of my best works are from impromptu shoots.
