#352 Today I cover Photography Manifesto Rule #2, To Be A Half Way Decent Photographer You Must Dedicate All of Your Available Time To It. That this does not mean focusing on it 24/7, instead I urge you to keep a photographical eye on in-between moments. 

THE BIG IDEAS

• Story and Emotion Matter Most: Great photos are built on the ability to convey stories and emotions, not just technical perfection.
• Dedicate Attention, Not Just Time: You grow as a photographer by consciously looking for moments, light, and composition in daily life—even without a camera in hand.
• Tools Are Just Tools: Mastering your camera settings is valuable, but true artistry comes from seeing creatively and telling stories.
• Critically Engage with Photography: Evaluating both your own and others’ photos deepens your understanding and improves your skills.
