Perhaps the best way to become a “better” photographer is mostly through the negative (Nassim Taleb). For example:

1. To make better compositions, best to *SUBTRACT* and try to get rid of the distracting elements.
2. To be more motivated, best to GET RID of social media (delete your Instagram) instead of seeking more followers and more likes.
3. More photo opportunities by subtracting color options (in praise of monochrome).
