“RNP the Blog”

I have been a photographer full time now for seven years. I was thinking to myself recently about how far I have come during that time. Some times it is easy to look at your current situation and only focus on how you still aren’t were you want to be in your career.

The further along you get I think the more your realize what separates your work from those at the highest levels…like everything else it is a process and some stages of it are more enjoyable than others.

If you will excuse the sports analogy…it is kinda like when you start playing golf you can make huge strides in improvement early on, but to get really, really good you have to completely buckle down and dedicate yourself to the game. Lots of people enjoy golf initially until the steps in improvement became greater and require more sacrifice.

You could also make the case that improvements to the equipment in both cases have made things both better and worse at the same time but that is another post for another day.

Finally lots of people are good at golf using completely different styles much like photography. I just need to continue to explore and find what is unique and special about my game. It isn’t going to always be fun or easy. But that is the game…
