For the past fours months I have somehow managed to make at least one photograph a day, some good, some maybe not so good, at least that's what I think.
As much as I love old boy Ansel Adams, I never liked his quote: "Twelve significant photographs in any one year is a good crop." OK, he was probably the greatest landscape photographer that ever lived, but the way so many take his quote literally just seems a little daft. And don't get me started on the, "If you don't agree this you are a liar and a fraud" etc, that's just ludicrous. I know photographers that produce mountains of great images every year. I also know photographers that don't produce any (lots in fact).
Of all the work I have been producing, I am pretty happy with most of the images. Whether they are 'good' or not, well that's completely subjective.
I do wonder what Adamsky would of said if he was alive and making photographs in a digital age. Personally I think he would of added a couple of zeros..
