What makes a legend in photography? Is it a magic ingredient that few are born with? Not really….legends are MADE, not born. They are created much like your camera was put together and your computer too. Legendary photographers are embedded into our minds and last a lifetime to our clients without needing to make room […]
We’re lazy…
We want what we want, and we want it now. I don’t think social media and smart phones are helping much. They add fuel to the dopamine fueled fire. Not much more. The key: self-discipline.
