OK, grasshopper, if you want to learn, I shall take you under my wing, but first thing's first...never, ever, call me pencildick again. Someone from my past called me that once, and well, let's just say that he couldn't call me that again until the wires came out...but by that time he had learned his lesson.
OK, so speaking of lessons, grasshopper, here we go:
Lesson 1: Never admit that you took your pictures from the internet. You must not only convince others that they are yours, but you must convince yourself that they are yours. You need to keep saying over and over, "I made this, I took this, I shot this. This is me, I am the creator."
