Achieve Quote by Herb Ritts

“To me it's just going for the moment that counts. Sometimes, I'll have all the elements there, and I like to play and push something, and to me, in the end, you do achieve things that you're not aware of in the beginning, even though you're there trying to get them.” quote by Herb Ritts — Download Open image
