HOW TO FEEL MISERABLE AS A __________________, let's say. PHOTOJOURNALIST, or WHAT NOT TO DO.
- Constantly compare yourself to other photographers.
- Base the succes of your entire career on if you win in POYi or BOP.
- Stick with what you know.
- Undervalue your expertise.
- Let money dictate what you do.
- Bow to societal pressures.
- Only take pictures the 'readers' would love.
- Set unachievable/overwhelming goals. To be accomplished by tomorrow.

I thought this was fantastic Magnum Photos – midnight during the intro I thought my monitor had freaked-out. Great piece, great photographer.
