Tip #41: No Excuses!

Ice Cave - Apostle Island National Lakeshore, WI

It’s early... I’m tired... It’s hot... I’m cold... It’s raining... I’m sick... Nothing to shoot... The light is flat... It’s a long drive... I have the wrong camera... My lenses suck... The subject’s boring... I’m hungry... It’s late... I have work to do... Nobody cares...

So there it is, an incomplete list to justify your unmotivated disposition. I’m sure that there are as many excuses as there are photographers. Get it out of your system, make it a good whine, now grab the gear and practice your craft. No Excuses!
