backwards at the history of photography to learn about where the craft came from where photography started what photographers were doing 50 years ago do you have a clue what they were doing before photoshop before digital do you know what they were doing even before that they were getting glass
and they were literally inventing their own chemical solution to make light-sensitive material and they were painting that light-sensitive material on the glass and they were keeping that glass now protected from light and then hiking like Ansel Adams into Yosemite Valley and then
carefully loading glass negatives into a camera that was 11 inches by 14 inches, like a camera that you needed like three helpers to move.
Photography is so easy now, but we take it for granted.
We take for granted how easy it is to make photos, but do we love the craft enough to do the trial and error, to do the learning curve?
or like 60% of people who are getting into photography business just give up in the first year or the 25% who give up the second year.

Like my first paid gig was when I was 19 years old.
I got paid to take pictures of a professional model.
I was 19 the first time that I made a dollar with my camera.
I was 19 the first time I saw my photo published in a magazine.
That taste of the professional world, seeing my photo, photo by Steve Carty.
Oh my God, are you kidding me?
I was 19.
Do you think that that's not going to really inspire you to like do?
Unfortunately, not enough of us have those kinds of accolades.
It's not being published.
Our accolades come from Instagram, where the people who are double tapping and scrolling through might not be photo editors, designers, art directors.
They're likely just your friends.
They're just likely other people who see your pictures on a scroll.
