Photography — Words of Wisdom

Here at 4 Ever Shooting, my goal is to not only to share, but to also grow with my photography.  With every image I take,  I am one step closer to furthering my knowledge and experience.

Below are some words of wisdom from those who have traveled this journey before me, who also share the passion,  and who’s words  have helped me see the excitement in it all.
