I saw this link in DPReview, and thought that it was a good read for anyone looking at getting into photography

Your right Stu. A very good read, and a very interesting approach. The man speaks from experience. some very long experience and for those who want to get into the business this is really the only way to start. Photography business is very cut throat and if you don't make a name for your self first the struggle you will go through will drive you away from the business. For those who enjoy the hobby, well that's something different. Photography is not always about business.

That is an excellent post.

That is why I am starting so many projects on my own and keep myself busy.

Wow. After reading the article, it makes me want to sit back and take a look at my own photographs, and make a new plan of action. Great article. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the link. Makes me think I should step back and look at what I really would like to become good at shooting in the long run. Right now I'm like how the author was in that I'm shooting everything and the kitchen sink but no real direction with my photography as a whole.
