As the same with many things, photography is about persistence.
My instructor used to say, "You must shoot a lot. There are two reasons for that. The first one is, by shooting a lot, you strengthen your techniques. The second one is, you develop your own style as your shoot. You cannot acquire it; it just come to you naturally."
Another of my favorite photographers said, "I am not a better photographer than others. The difference between them and me is that, they take a few pictures and keep the most of them. I take a lot of pictures, and only keep few of them."
I couldn't agree more with what they said. Nowadays I take pictures almost every day. Not always hundreds of pictures. (Though there are a lot of times with a lot of footage.) Sometimes just to record a special smile; a loving look, or a memorable scene bathed in the warm sunshine. I hope you will enjoy my new little exercise. Better yet, why don't you join me? ;)
