“Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst.” ― Henri Cartier-Bresson
And in some cases one more at 10,001 photographs.
One More

That doesn’t necessarily mean that #10,001 is good, though, does it, Monte? This one’s pretty nice, although it’sccertainly not #10,001. I suspect you have “turned over” 10,000 a few times.
Monte Stevens
Not at all. I have wondered just how many photos I have taken over the past 10 years. It’s well over 10,000 that’s for sure.

This is a nice image – even if it’s 10,001, 1, or 100,001!
Monte Stevens
Thanks, John and you are right. The more the better.

That would have to be true of all photographers I suspect since you would have to have something wrong with you if after taking 10000 photographs you hadn’t learnt something to improve your shots. Unless of course you’re one of those Facebook phonographer who’s taken 20000 “selfies” and they all look just as bad as the first one 😉
Monte Stevens
LOL! Well that’s not me. In fact I really do need to take a few more images with my phone but it won’t be “selfies.”
