Some Photographic Myths.

When reading the first myth about photographers are the best editors of their own work, I thought it was crazy W.Eugene Smith shot over 11,000 negatives in one year. I felt kind of bad for him when he ended up resigning from his job because he wasn't allowed full control over the picture selection, because he wasn't a very good editor on his own. From this reading I realized it's really important to collaborate with people when creating your art to get the best possible results, like talking with an editor, writer and printer. You are the artist and take the image, and having someone else help you doesn't take away from that. Once you have your image, you want to be able to show it in the best possible way. So handing it over to someone like a really good printer with a lot of experience, is a good idea, to get the best print. Also the quote "The immature artist imitates; the mature artist steals," is a line I heard all the time in high school and I still hear all the time now. If you are going to take an idea from someone you defiantly want to make it better or a little different or it does end up just imitating and seeming like you just copied an idea, not being very creative.
