Listening and responding to others informing you of your mistake makes you a better person, and hopefully changes people's perceptions. 2. Initiative. Fixing mistakes is the... Continue Reading →
A Facebook friend and fellow photographer responded to my addeddum with... ..., ask a landscape photographer how much "fun" it is freezing their nuts off setting up for a sunrise shot of a frozen lake, ... I very quickly wrote a response. But realising it was getting quite lengthy, I decided to publish it here... Continue Reading →
"Photography to the amateur is recreation, to the professional it is work, and hard work too, no matter how pleasurable it my be" ~ E.
