The Command to Look: A Master Photographer s Method for Controlling the Human Gaze | 
"It is definitely my own formula, which grew out of my own need to clarify what makes not only a good picture, but an effective one...I give you the formula now, although you will require the chapters following to fully understand it's significance and application.
1. The picture must, by it's mere arrangement, make you look at it.
2. Having looked--see!
3. Having seen--enjoy! (40)

"Throw pictures away recklessly. Every photographer saves too many pictures. Without complication, tear up your proofs and decimate your prints. And having gotten rid of them--forget them. Remember that every inferior picture that you discard raises the average excellence of those that remain.' (PG 79)
Excited to get stuck into this and brush up on my photography knowledge.
