Hi,
oh, that's yet another story :) But even considering time factor, the
yield (let's call it short term yield vs. long time yield which
means the photos survived over years) matters, not the absolute quantity
of images taken.

pcn within two years I was selling a lot of work to magazines. Shoot

Very good advice! Thanks.
Good light!

Hi,
how many of those 1000 could be published or, at least, printed in
8x10 and hanged to your room wall?
For example I shoot every month at least one new digital camera product
pictures for our local magazine. Quite often it takes more than 50
images to get 4-6 pictures that I like enough to

My *ist-DS arrived 3 weeks ago today and I'm amazed to see that
I've shot 1000 images in that period.
The vast majority have been test shots and discarded, but that's
an awful lot of shots by my standards - though I realise that for some of
you that's not a very large total.
With my old 35mm
I shoot more with digital than I did with film. At first, I was probably
somewhat more careless, but I think the instant feedback has made me more
thoughtful over time. I'm now getting a much higher number of keepers per day
than I did with film and a percentage of keepers that is at least
By the way, as a footnote to this topic, I might add that when I first started
shooting film in earnest some 30 years ago, I learned an important lesson about
volume and skill development. I was patronizing an old camera store in Chicago
at the time. It was on 35th and Halsted near Comiskey

Looks like a real and important friendship and it surely helped develop your
skills up to the level you show us today with PAW/PESO.
Thanks for the comments on the clay figure Paul.

You're welcome, Markus. It's a very dramatic photo.
Practice is critical. I'm quite certain that I'll never be a great photographer
or even a very good one. I don't think I have a truly unique vision and may
never develop one. But shooting lots of film has improved my work considerably,

So people, start looking more at what you've done right than what you've
done wrong...
AND keep doing right! (I inspire myself sometimes).

Seriously though. My only justification is that most of those have come in
