I’ve made another word review video. This one is longer – 14 minutes – because I have a lot to say about the word. I promise future ones will generally be more like 5 minutes. Also, I decided to see how it would come across if I did it without a script. I’ll tell you this: it takes a lot more time! You’re watching take number 6. Because a professional needs to do what it takes to get it right.

A very interesting philosophical talk. I know of too many weekend photographers who have “a camera” and will take photos for the ersatz exposure. Part of being a “professional photographer” is having a “professional client”, i.e. one who knows the difference between a good image and a less-than-good image, and will pay for it.
It is what’s BEHIND the camera that counts.
