Everyone should get a lucky picture:
  • Lucky in a sense that the only reason why you carry your camera at this time is because you just went to buy new batteries and films across the street, after not having shot a single roll in three years.
  • Lucky in a sense that your roommate suggests that you could send it to his brother who happens to be looking for some pictures of NYC, to publish in his art magazine (Gallery, Spain, August 2006).
  • Lucky in a sense that this picture is the first one you exhibit in a gallery (French-NYC Exhibition, Gallery/Studio 173, New York, November 2006)
  • Lucky in a sense that this picture is your one picture that finds a buyer.
  • Lucky in a sense that this picture is selected in the National Geographics Daily Dozen (National Geographic Website, Daily Dozen, April 29th 2008)
Well... For all these reasons, and because this picture is the one that gets you back into photography, everyone should have a lucky picture.

"Desert" is my lucky picture.
