Something which has been on my mind ever since I was 18 years old:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the secret and key to photographic ‘success’, motivation, and thriving?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

So what is it that we *really* want? Photographic motivation. And what is photographic motivation? It is having the energy, impetus, and the strong desire to go out and make *NEW* photos, or the motivation to take the pre-existing photos we already got to make new types of artwork (PDF E-BOOKS<\/a>, slideshows, print books, etc). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
