“What I’ve Learned So Far”
In December I decided to write a post every day on the things that I have learned over the years of my journey. It was fun and it was exhausting… but mostly it was good to reflect.
I will soon be making these posts into an EBook, but if you wish to read them before that happens, well, here you go. Sorry I cannot put them in front order, so start at the back if you want to read them in order. That said, read them in whatever order you want.

Does It Really Take 10,000 Hours To Become a Good Photographer?
When Malcolm Gladwell wrote his book, "Outliers" he had a chapter devoted to the "10,000 hours" rule that intimated that it took 10,000 hours of practice to become good at something. I think this single criterion has been fairly criticised by people who think that it...

The Image Is The Thing
Becoming a “Photographer” - or being a “Photographer”… what does that mean, really? Does it mean that you now have a top of the line camera? Does it mean a bag of lenses? Does it mean an awesome set of studio lights? Or a light meter? Boom? Storbs? (inside joke,...
