  13. I definitely fall in the Beethoven camp. But if it came easy and the results quick it wouldn't be half as fun. Working hard and the spending time at trying to crack the code and then eventually it comes is just an amazing feeling.

  14. My neighbor in CT was Edward Steichen and I had a chance to meet him. At the time he was mid-90's but he was so amazing to speak with. I was a kid so I only asked a couple of things that were not photography noted. I did take some photos around his very modest home and as he stood behind his double Dutch door was so wonderful and I will never forget that. He was all white hair from the top of his head to the bottom of his long flowing beard. An amazing man and I am so glad to have met him. This meet up was in the 60's.

  16. Hi Ted, I really enjoy your channel..Thank-you for all your work.. I am a Serious Hobbyist of 40+ yrs.. I lived down the street from a Professional Photographer of many years & I stopped by to ask him what he would suggest for a guy to make money with his photos..His statement was surprising..He told me to learn to take pictures of what sells, not neccesarily what you enjoy to shoot..And if you want to sell your work then don't give it away..He was referring to posting on the internet or Facebook.. Any thoughts, thanks..Ken

  17. Just found you Ted. As a newbie attempting 2nd career with photog biz…this was awesome! Self taught with the help of Youtube 😉 Totally agree with you about drive/work ethic. Are there work challenges we can join/sign up for in 2017? New subscriber.

  18. I dont make my living out of photography, im just a hobbyist , but i like to be as much as perfect as i can be when i do something, and you really inspire me Ted, thanks alot for the great efforts u do here .. Cheers …

  20. Question. Do I go for volume and shoot a lot without much reflection and see what comes out the other end, or should it try to snap away with purpose and intend before pressing the shutter? I guess in the end it's a mix of gut feeling aided by purpose… I feel moments I want to capture but often I struggle to capture their essence … how much in control can one be in the end outside the studio?

  22. For folks with time constraints—and I work 50-60 hours a week so I know how it goes—I'd say get an app that allows you to save multiple pins. If you find a great scene or subject but the light sucks that day or you just don't have time, you can catalog your finds for later.

    I just started doing this, and it's allowed me to be a LOT smarter with my time.

  25. I remember the words by John Free in one of his videos as he said how important it is to practice your photography…"there is practice in basketball and eurythmics, but there is no practice in photography" these were the words by Mr.Free. it helped me alot like your videos. Thank you! 🙂

  26. Hearing this story is inspirational for me. I'm getting a degree in music but also practice photography on a professional level. You took the same road that I'm on right now. I would love to hear more about your life story. If possible can we speak on a private chat, phone call, or skype?

  35. Wonderful. Thank you for this. I'm more like Beethoven. Funny enough, I studied classical piano for over 2 decades and my favourite composers to play and learn from were Brahms and Beethoven.

  38. I have a severe lack of time when it comes to things I'm interested in. photography is the main thing I wish I had more time for. I just take my camera with me everywhere I go. it makes me conscious at all times. Ted, you're knowledge and passion for not only photography but the passion for teaching us is inspiring buddy. thank you for these videos
