This post has little to do with my buddy Michael aka “KodakBoi”…. granted he is an awesome photographer, popular blogger and a socialite who is usually seen partying with major celebrities. Nope, this post has more to do with a book entitled “Outliers” by Malcolm Gladwell. In his book, Gladwell talks about the secret to success…. and surprisingly, it has little to do with talent. As Gladwell puts it, its all about the 10,000-Hour-rule. Studies suggest that 10,000 hours of practice in any field will ultimately lead to success. So what do you think separates Bill Gates from somebody like me? Well, besides a few billion dollars, Gates has dedicated the time it takes to becoming a leader in software development.
So I guess my clock starts today. I’m trying to become a better photographer, a better writer and all-around better person. With that being said, this shoot was great practice with my 35mm f/2.0 Nikkor lens. We only took an hour so I guess I have 9,999 to go!
