A Good Reminder You'll Need the Next Time You're Frustrated With Photography

Photography is a wonderful thing that can be tremendously satisfying, but on the other hand, it can also be very difficult and quite frustrating. The next time you find yourself in that space, remember that you watched this video and that you are not alone in experiencing those feelings. 

Coming to you from Henry Turner, this great video discusses how photography is not always a walk in the park and serves as a gentle reminder that we will all have days where it does not feel as fun as we once hoped it would be. And certainly, on those days, it can be tempting to toss your camera in the bag and head home. There is nothing inherently wrong with taking a break when you need one, but on the other hand, it is also important to remember that few things in life that are worthwhile come easily. There will be days during which the weather is awful, your equipment is malfunctioning, or you are simply having a creative block, but being willing to persevere through these mishaps can make you a more resilient creative and help you create better images in the long run. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Turner.
