What does it mean to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153iterate\u00e2\u20ac\u009d?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To iterate is to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Attempt something <\/li>
  2. Gain feedback <\/li>
  3. Do it again, but this time with more knowledge, wisdom, and useful information to integrate into your actions\/ideas\/thoughts\/artworks.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Make a minimum viable product (MVP)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    I love this notion of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153iterating\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00e2\u20ac\u201d a quite popular Silicon Valley notion. The basic idea is this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t strive for perfection\u00e2\u20ac\u201d instead, seek to produce the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153MVP\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (minimum viable product) to publish\/share\/make.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    And once you put that thing out there, keep improving it indefinitely, based on feedback. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For example, write a blog post that you consider 80% \u00e2\u20ac\u0153good enough\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, and hit publish. Later you can edit it some more, or you can simply move \u00e2\u20ac\u0153onto the next one\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, and write something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The rolling stone never grows moss <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    As a photographer, keep shooting, and keep iterating your images. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Keep shooting <\/li>
    2. Keep selecting photos to process<\/li>
    3. Process the photos, share them, then start the whole cycle again. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      The goal isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t to achieve \u00e2\u20ac\u0153perfection\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in photography\u00e2\u20ac\u201d it is the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153kaizen<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d art of constant (and gradual) improvement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Or in simple words,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t stop, won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t stop!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

      Make on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
