Wanna know this episode in one quote? I got you!
"I love the art form, the light, the way light moves across water and sunset, and I love the way it freezes a moment in time that you can come back to year after year after year. Your life will change but the photos? They stay the same!"

Wanna know the episode in one quote? Here you go!
"When you say the same sentence (posing instruction) to two different people, it's going to mean something different to every single person you photograph... As you shoot and as you talk and as you kind of fluid pose them, their personality will come out more."
