“Chances are, you suck.”
There’s nothing wrong with not being any good at photography. Everybody started out bad and none of us does all aspects of it well. But it’s a crying shame to want to be good at it, to spend time and money trying to be good at it, and not getting any better.
This isn’t like teaching a child to read. Positive reinforcement is your enemy. Your Facebook friends, your Twitter followers… hate you. Instead of taking ten seconds to say. “This doesn’t work. You need to do better”. They readily push that “like” button, because it’s easy and they hope to get the same from you, but also because they’re cowards.

The trick is blocking out the chatter and instead listening to the voice inside. That’s the hard part: finding what you want to say and figuring out how you want to say it. I’m still trying to find my own voice - but I’ve learned this much, at least.

It feels ironic not to offer some criticism to the text, but it actually does work.
