I don’t know what you are thinking, but I can guess it’s not, “This guy should be in art school!”.
My line drawing form is out of practice, but the point of my scribbles is that I drew this on printer paper the day before I went on to shoot this:

This is my favorite shot of the day, and it is one of three images that I knew I wanted before I left my house.
For those of you just starting out, or wondering how good or great images are produced, I think the notion of pre-visualization can be a deciding factor.
The second factor is the guts and determination to not leave the set until you get what you wanted.
In my younger, more dreamy years, I thought the idea of a photographer was to be on-the-spot, in-the-moment, take what you can get. And while I still believe that concept has its place, I realize now that the decision of which spot, in what moments and how to take what you can is just as crucial to the overall impact.
The photographers role is decisions, decisions, decisions. Just don’t wait until you get to the set to begin making yours.
