It’s hard to sit down for two hours and not get anything productive done.) At one point, British forger Eames is talking to team lead Cobb about a possible job they will undertake.

Some photos I will be fond of simply due to the fact I know how much work went on behind the scenes, even though technically they may lack. Others bring back fond memories of times past. Other images, while perhaps strong photos, may never be pushed to the editor’s desk. Something doesn’t click with my internal mind. Others see them and, to their eye, the photo works. Sometimes for me it just doesn’t.
