| ->> there's no spot for me, the "all I want to do is spend my nights lightpainting because it's dark, it's quiet and no one knows where I am which means no one is going to annoy me with stupid phone calls." |

->> I'm at the "damn it, I suck" point much of the time, but mostly in a good way because it doesn't cause me to mope around, just want to improve.
The diagram in the link is so funny and so true. I look back at the photos I took years ago that I thought we're almost - but not quite - good enough for Sports Illustrated and I cringe.
When you are just starting out, you are unable to see what is "wrong" with a picture. As you get more knowledge and experience, what's "wrong" with a picture starts to become all that you see, which is not good either, I suppose.
Ah well, this is such a happy, all-consuming passion. I am curious to see where it all will lead. |

| ->> I've been doing this so long I missed the HDR Hole because it didn't exist when I was at that stage. For me, it was probably the cross-processing hole. |

| ->> It's missing the repeated roller coaster curves of switching from Nikon to Canon and back again (or vice-versa), with the accompanying "this is wonderful" peaks and "this sucks" valleys. |

Eric Canha, Photographer

Brockton | MA | United States | Posted: 1:24 PM on 04.20.10 |
| ->> There is a also the bell curve of "You don't know what you don't know". That's like a 20 year span from the time you enter to the time you go out (if ever). |
