I like how your slowly attempting to admit that what you said was completely uncalled for and made you sound like an idiot. Good attempt though. Key word being attempt.
I sometimes revise my posts after I first put them on, because I think through it more. Don't reply immediately. It will probably change a little.
I know how you feel. I was 20 once. At that time I had already been doing photography for six years and was getting pretty good. I had no notion of going pro at that time, though I did work professionally in my late 20s and 30s. I worked at my college yearbook when I was 18-22 and did some rather good work of the PJ type. It was not, however, the best training for commercial photography, so when I tried working in the commercial photography field it was almost like starting from scratch.
Yeah really? In your late 20's and 30's? and you realize your downgrading an 18 year old kid? very manly of you, I have also been shooting for awhile now I dont know exactly how long but quite awhile now. Look where I am. Probably alot further then you were at my age. All i'm sayng is that everybody has dreams, goals, and achievments they want under their belt at a certain point in their life. This happened to be one of his and also one of mine. Prime you do come off as pure evil and nobody really likes what you say and how you react to some peoples threads. Best thing to do is be nice and thoughtful maybe that way people may actually like you and respect you, maybe then you'll turn pro one day.
Be patient. Read my previous post. You'll be OK, just quit talking about going pro. It is premature.
I have been around a long long time in this business and you would do well to listen to what I have to say.
If you ask for advice, be prepared to act on it and don't think someone like me is trying to harm you. I'm not. I'm trying to help you. Just like the business owner who wanted to buy the Hasselblad and do the work himself. He was stubborn, but he later admitted I was right. I don't care if you think I'm right, now. You will learn it later regardless.
