Photography as any other craft demands repetitions. In order to create beautiful and interesting photographs, you have to learn to learn to see. And by learning I mean practice looking at life from different perspectives constantly.
At some point it becomes a habit that nurture your craft and expands your vision. You don’t see life in the same way and cannot I see it anymore. You become the craftsman who will never be an amateur again.
I’m not fully sure if it’s a 100% a fair trade, but it’s definitely worth the ride.
