For me photography is mostly a serendipitous process of isolating light and is guided by three principles:

All art presupposes a work of selection 
(Igor Stravinsky)
All photographs are just a window of the real world. A good photograph isolates the part which conveys the message the best. Therefore cropping photos with either a lens or software to isolate the essence, is a enduring goal.

Photography is savouring life at a hundredth of a second
(Marc Ribound)
A photo stops life and freezes it in time for enjoyment in years to come.

Stillness of hand doesn't make up for emptiness of heart 
(Rodney Smith)
Passion for the subject is the most important criteria in shooting great images. Technical skills alone are not enough.
