[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 378844, member: 1061"] Nope. This was just something that came across my photography news feed today. ;) Yeah, that's a pretty well known tidbit of advice. Here's another one that you probably haven't heard: [I]"Perfect practice makes perfect."[/I] That came from my old high school baseball coach. And you know what? He was right. Funny how little things like that stick with you for the rest of your life. Because you can practice all you want, but if you're doing it wrong in the first place, then all the practice in the world isn't going to make you any better. There's a kid (mid-20's) over on the DPS forums who is bound and determined he's going to be a pro. The problem is, he has no talent. He keeps bouncing back and forth...one month he's a wedding photog, the next he's doing stock photos, and the next he's trying commercial work. It doesn't matter what he does, he's doing it wrong. Be it the actual photos, marketing, sales, or whatever. He just doesn't have the right stuff. He gets an "A" for effort, though. [/QUOTE]
