seeing and doing.
You've got to take photos too, and you've got to believe they're
almost all crap, rather than convince yourself that they're brilliant.
Once you realise they're crap you've got to ask yourself why they're
not as good as Ansel's or Hank's or Wonderful Eugene's or
whomsoever's.
Concert musicians practice for hours each day, at least to begin with.
Great photographers take pictures all the time, hundreds of them, at
least to begin with. It's dull but true that practice makes perfect.
But not always.
Sometimes you can practice and practice, the way I used to on the guitar,
and never get good, the way I never did. Sometimes it's best just to quit.
