Invest your time, don't spend it. Spend (invest) an hour a day at anything & in five years, you will become a world-class expert. (From Jeffrey Gitomer's "Little Gold Book of Yes! Attitude")This quote can apply to nearly anything you want to do. If you practice enough, and work hard enough, you can become an expert. It's just like with this example of light painting. When I was at the workshop with Rick Sammon last week, we didn't get the pictures we liked on the first try. We had to practice until we got the lighting just right. Anything worth doing, takes time & practice. So, if you're a photographer, turn out the lights, set your camera on 5 seconds or so, turn on a flashlight and paint away. The results can be surprising! If you need more information on light painting, just let me know. I'd be glad to help.
