"One of the things that I most believe in is the compose and wait philosophy of photography. Itâ€™s a very satisfying, almost spiritual way to photograph. Life isn'tâ€™ knocking you around, life isn't controlling you. You have picked your place, youâ€™ve picked your scene, youâ€™ve picked your light, youâ€™ve done all the decision making and you are waiting for the moment to come to you."

-- Sam Abell
