totally agree. I’m by no means an “established” photographer, but I’ve been at it full-time for a year now and am still paying the bills. It’s totally about the relationships. I’ve learned so much from other photographers, and can’t imagine hiding behind “my secrets”… honestly I don’t really have any, but if I did… I think my Clients hire me because of my eye/relationships/work ethic/etc… not just because I can choose an F-stop and shutter speed properly.

I love your work. Wish you blogged more, as you’re one of those photographers that truly inspires via your vision/craft.

Thanks.

Had to tweet the post at MattyLovesNikon – credit attributed of course – Great post, there really isn’t any other way to be and not feel crappy about work and life.

Thank you for your post and great blog.

interestingly enough I’ve had this thought too. Thank you for your insights Helps me to remember even though “they all” have the tools they don’t always have the magic!

That’s some pretty profound thinking. I’ve been impressed various times by how much I feel like I receive when I give. It’s paradoxical, really. Like you hit upon, I think it’s supposed to be like that.

Matt–
Great thoughts, and I agree completely with what you’ve said. Interestingly enough, I’ve been wrestling with this topic on my own as of late. I’ve come to the same conclusion as you, in that a great deal of knowledge, encouragement and enthusiasm from those more learned and experienced than I has contributed to help me arrive at where I am today. What goes around comes around, and I’d like to be on the receiving end when my desire to share comes back around…
