Labelle wrote the books ”The Great Picture Hunt”, “The Great Picture Hunt 2″, “Lessons in Death and Life” and “I don’t want to know all the technical stuff…I just want to shoot pictures.”
“Life will teach you to be a good teacher. If you care, life will show you many, many examples. It will lay all the lessons right before you and all you have to do is bend over and collect these lessons and put them in some order and fashion and you can teach anybody.” - Dave LaBelle
