Dear Wanna be and FAKE Photographers

-

Your DSLR camera is not a 30, 000 worth of bling-bling. It is a tool use to capture unforgettable memories, being a good photographer is not measured in terms of purchase but in terms of skills acquired thru failure, criticism and tireless effort to achieve and hone skills all throughout your career, trust me when I say your first 10,000 shots are all failure and by the time you acquire to be in the semi-pro or professional category you have bleed enough and sweat like a hell before you can say that you are GOOD but not yet BEST. Let alone people from all walks of like criticize you for that it will help you grow.

 By the way, here is my mantra.

5 Uncomfortable Truths About Photography

   1.   More gear won’t make you a better photographer
.  2.    There is no “KNACK”
   3.   You have got to be patient
  4.   There is nothing wrong with being an amateur
  5.   Postprocessing is tool, not a crutch



Truly Yours;

Learning Soul
