Arch in the Devils Garden
Last week’s topic got me to thinking about another analogy between professionals and amateurs. It is said that amateurs will practice until they can do it right. Professionals practice until they cannot do it wrong. Not being able to do it wrong takes a lot more effort than learning how to do it right.
My experience during last year’s photo safari impressed upon me the need for more extensive preparation to be able to manipulate both image and text files for these blog entries. Not being able to back up images, process digital files and make blog updates with images was very frustrating. This level of frustration had an effect on my attitude and ability to create. To avoid repeating this poor performance, I need to prepare differently this year. Now I better get started practicing the software programs that I am going to need for this year’s photo safari.
