Some Photographic Myths

I thought this reading was really interesting. It was a very easy read, I didn't struggle through it like I have with others. A lot of the myths are things we have talked about in class or things I have thought about on my own, but it's always good to get the pov of another photographer on different subjects. I'm not sure I completely agree with Myth no 5: Photography is about talent and instinct. I think that, yes, you aren't born a great photographer but I think some people are born photographers. I feel like some people, no matter how much they study, will not be able to produce work like one that was born a photographer. Of course, even those born a photographer must study to be a great photographer.
Overall I really enjoyed the reading and it's probably something I will come back to again, to remind myself about these myths.
