There Isn’t Always A Pat Answer!
I am not pontificating here and I have tried to keep this as short and relevant as possible
I often see and read articles about artistic style and equipment for photographers. A lot of questions are asked by those that want to break into photography. The questions revolve around the brand of camera lenses, strobes, accessories and such. The problem is most haven’t taken any classes in high school, Junior colleges, or found someone to mentor them. The situation creates confusion and can resolved with a different approach.
Most of the questions come down to the equipment, which I want to talk about. I’ll be honest; I think I have taken one photography class in my entire life. I found it slow moving and lacking a dimension of teaching. I wished not only was there the lecture but the demonstration and you do with the teacher/instructor portion of the class too. I will also say this that that was in the 70’s too, so things may have changed a bit then. (more…)
Life doesn’t come in shorthand – it’s a longhand world when it comes to lasting success.
I don’t like being stuck with a lot of down time, but the advantage this time around was the opportunity to allow the creative juices flow without the normal day-to-day hindrances. The no.2 was working feverishly with all kind of notes and layout sketches recorded in the book I use for creative ideas and business.
I will cut to the chase. People today are focused on making boat loads of money with the make it fast get rich schemes that don’t work. I constantly get junk email about claim this 5.2 million dollars, I want someone to partner with to invest this $$. Join the XXXX network where you can make millions of $$. The successful business people I know or have known over the years didn’t make their money overnight so to speak. If something happened where they had a substantial increase in their income, it was a windfall.
