HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU’RE ANY GOOD, AS A PHOTOGRAPHER?
It amazes me how some people who call themselves photographers consider their work to be amazing, when their photographs, in fact, aren’t so hot. And at the other extreme, some purely humble folks make astounding photographs without a sense of how good they are. There is little correlation between talent and ego; they are independent qualities.

It is wise to direct your anger towards problems — not people; to focus your energies on answers — not excuses.
William Arthur (via jatecson)
So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they’re busy doing things they think are important. This is because they’re chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives your purpose and meaning.
