This is the best article I've ever read about photographers!

If this doesn't wake a lot of people up, I don't know what will. Absolutely brilliant piece of work! A must read, IMHO!

10 WAYS TO NOT BECOME A SUCCESSFUL PHOTOGRAPHER

I kept thinking that I would find a few that I believed in. But I couldn't. I believed in ALL of them. Great article and right on point on what I see suggested on this forum so many times.

Personally, I think this should be mandatory reading for any aspiring/working/amateur photographer.

Excellent Jack... Thank you for sharing... It does reinforce (refresh) things we mostly already know (or SHOULD!)

Thanks, Jack. I definitely am guilty of failing to edit myself enough. I shoot a lot, and I tend to try and and make something out of images that I thought were better than they are - like trying to salvage a bad relationship.

Jake, I do that all the time!! Starting just now to throw all marginal out and only look at possibles... Not trying to "save" as much!

When I look at all the great stuff here, I tend to "sell myself short" .. knowing that is mostly practice and developing an "eye"
