But all the time. It is as if we expect to be able to learn Kung Fu as Neo did
The moment this happens, the skill is valueless. We see it happening now (a little more slowly) with photography, as anyone can take a decent enough image.
But unless I do it today, small chance that I will do it tomorrow. And no chance at all to do it for a second time in a row tomorrow.
It works for bad habits too :)
Well, as a photographer, I am just telling people that all that matters is what story they are telling. As a photojournalist, I've known for a decade that most people, even well equipped, won't go where they need to stand in order to have a good angle and distance. Even photographers from a century ago (Ansel Adams in this case) have sayings like "To make a good picture is to know where to stand." Ansel Adams walked with a wooden box on wooden legs across the mountains.
Yup...
