    I’m sorry I’ve worked with a dozen or so photographers. Some good, several very bad, and one or two who are genuinely talented.

    They’re all shooting as much as they can and picking what they like. Editing is 90 percent of the job.

    One gal literally had no idea what any of the functions on her camera even did, just let it do everything. She just had a good eye for it in the editing room, and shot enough to take luck out of the equation. She is still being shown in galleries around town and has a stall at all the craft fairs around town. Photography is the only thing she does. The few who were and remain talented photographers aren’t standing head and shoulders above their competition. The two really talented guys are teaching.

    It is sadly, not far removed from how a lot of photography works, especially now.

    Take thousands of pictures, pick the few that look good. Even bad photographers get lucky often enough.

    I’m not saying it’s the same, there are obvious differences. But it’s not a huge leap.
