Don’t use a zoom lens! you have legs and you should always go closer then you dare to. A wide angle lens is much more direct then a (‘much safer’) telephoto lens. Fuck the rules concerning light and horizon, throw away the rules, do your own thing. Take your time, being interested is the best introduction. Choose the pictures with your mind, not after taking them when you are watching on the screen of your camera. Don’t make to many pictures! keep your overview.
