#photography musing:
To the extent I'm successful as a photographer, it's because I figured out that there's a bunch of stuff I'm just not good at, and left that behind.
For me, that's anything spontaneous or opportunistic. Almost every good photo I make is planned. I'm baffled by photojournalism, street photography, wildlife photography, travel photography, and candid portraits. I have no idea how other people manage to do those things well, though at their best they can be stunningly good.
