September was a shitty month, and that's something I'll try to recap later. I'm just glad it's over. Here's a quick quote that broke the monotony of things going on in my head. It's a bit refreshing to think about photography by itself again. And, you can't go wrong with a basketball metaphor applied to photography.
"Then, it occurred to me that these plays almost always have a component of near failure involved in them. It's the fingertip catch, the unlucky or lucky bounce, or a player making a grab on a line drive that shouldn't have been catchable. It's almost never the "perfectly executed play" or the "high percentage shot" that makes us leap up from our chairs in disbelief. I feel the same way about photography." - Bradley Peters.
