On occasion it has been said I wear too many hats. But what's a mult-tasker to do, right? It's hard to stop doing all things you love, so I've decided this weekend I'm going to focus on the one thing I need to improve – my street photography. I mean Chicago is a big city. It has a few streets. I should be able to stumble upon a few candid shots if I put my mind to it…or so I would hope. The bottom line is I don't shoot a lot of Chicago people, probably because I live here and I take it for granted. So this weekend I'm making an effort because, as Stuart Smalley use to say, “I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me.”) So, my point is don't worry about what kind of photographer you need to be, or want to be right now, and instead focus on the things you know you need to improve upon….at some point in your career it will all intersect.
Well said and very true. It is wonderful to travel and be inspired by the freshness of a new place. It is easy to take for granted what is right in front of us day in and day out! Kudos to you and good luck on your Chicago shots! Can’t wait to see them.
