Roadmap

This article is a pretty good place to keep the conversation going. According to Simon Norfolk:

Soon we’ll all be amateur photographers with real money-making jobs on the side that we don’t tell our colleagues about. We need to get over the snobbery attached to that.

I will probably always be an amateur photographer, and this site is dedicated to my desire to take the best photos that I can, as well as excel at my real job.

This post serves as a road map as far as I can currently see. Which is to say, not too far:

• Work-life balance, a decidedly non-photographic topic, but oh-so important.
• Missed opportunities, and what it means to not take the shot when you see it.
• Not being afraid to suck. Most people really do suck, at least at some point, but there is so much fear of sucking. I want to embrace my suck-iness.
• Finding your voice as a photographer.
• Inspiration, and what it means to be inspired

I know that this site isn't going to be my answer for everything, but it will become my own personal place to shine my own shoes, and become a better photographer.
