After 87 pictures in 47 years, I knew when to quit.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I quit smoking well over twenty years ago.
As an actress, there were so many months, years even, when I didn't get work, when I wanted to quit.
When I graduated, I felt a little burned out on taking pictures after so many years of churning out so many for classes.
For me, photography only stopped because I was selling books.
I didn't quit movies. They quit me.
I still love to look at photographs but I couldn't do it myself anymore.
I've been working with photography for many years.
30 years and 55 pictures - not more than five that were any good, or any good for me.
I never stopped making pictures. There were times when more of my income was coming from other sources, and I had to devote more time to television and movies and records.
I can't tell you how many times I quit only to realize that when the work has been your life, you don't really have a life without it.
