You, the photographer....

I've become a bit of a philistine in recent years when it comes to looking at the history of photography, looking at contemporary photographers and deconstructing their work, and just generally soaking up photography to find my place within it. I do what I do and for the most part, I feel I do it well.

But is 'doing it well' enough?

The video below, shot by Zack Arias as part of a blog for scottkelby.com, pretty much sums up what myself and countless others will feel like at some point.

I've watched it a few times and although several years old (and not exactly a barrel of laughs), it perfectly illustrates the frustrations we feel as photographers when we pass that mark in our photography where 'better' is the only goal. We're sick of doing it well - we want more. More success. More recognition. More confidence that we're doing it right. We want to be more than just one of the millions who own a camera.

Enjoy....
