A Lesson to Amateur Photographers

The most important lesson to learn about enjoying photography is to learn how to accept other's criticisms of your work. The more criticisms you have, more lessons you may learn about your photography.  Taking out the factor of those people who just comment to berate your work, you may learn a thing or two from your friends who have had more time with the camera.

Learn from them and accept the critiques that they may have about your photography.

Here's a little shout out to Robert Peña, my mentor and best friend at POD Studio Productions. He taught me a valuable lesson about trying. Try to be more than your best, and not settle for anything less than that. By accepting the critiques of others, you not only improve your photography and experiences, you will also build more rapport with those who have constructively criticized you.

So, good luck to all those beginning photographers. Don't let failures discourage you in your passion. Learn from them, and move on.
