Disassembly of our lives
Jasper Johns
I offered advice earlier today on becoming a photographer. It fell on four ears. My point exactly. I think the process of becoming a photographer, an artist, a craftsman is born upon a passion. Sure, you can buy the full frame Nikon Z9 and master Lightroom, money today will buy you about any level you desire. One thing you will run out of long before your money though, is passion. It cannot be purchased as Simon attempted to buy from Peter the Holy Ghost. You either have it or you don't. You must photograph, you must paint, you must craft as you breathe. You will create in obscurity, in poverty, in failure. Nothing will deter, no matter how lowly the world esteems your passion.
"Most persons are so absorbed in the contemplation of the outside world that they are wholly oblivious to what is passing on within themselves." Nicola Tesla
