Follow your own path

This morning I attended a webinar put on by a fairly well-known photographer. The advertised intent was to teach you how to transform your photography to the “next level”. I watched this video for an hour and the only thing I got out of it was to “follow your own path because if you follow someone else you will always be one step behind. The next hour, which I didn’t really watch was a sales pitch to buy his course on how-to. It was almost as bad as watching the infomercials. I even guessed the price of the bundled course long before they gave the price and kept adding the, but wait you’ll also receive. It almost became comical.

I’ll save you the time and say this, follow your own path. Strive to improve your photography skills each day. It can be as simple as just looking at the photographs of other people. Get out and take photos. Challenge yourself to push your limits. What I found most entertaining with this webinar was the “instructor” said to make your own way all while pushing his masterclass to show you how he creates his work. We may occasionally need instruction but it really comes down to pushing yourself and learning through a variety of sources. Go forth today and create your own way, I’m going to.
