rfmcdonaldJust yesterday I found, via ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rdi, who found this via Robert Benson, this graphic which seems to indicate the life and progress of an aspiring photographer. The orange line is the state of knowledge about photography one possesses; the blue line is the photographer's self-evaluation; the green line is the quality of the actual photography.
Keeping in mind that the confusing dislike of high dynamic range ]photography makes me critical of the graph, I'd like to think that I'm approaching the middle of the graph. Although I still like flowers and cats, among other inanimate or relatively inanimate subjects, I do try to take photographs produced according to particular methods with specific camera modes, and I try to take part in online photographic communities based on Flickr and Livejournal. I've no particular interest in becoming an expert or a professional photographer--I don't need to develop my skills so much, and honestly, I've better things to do--but continuing to work towards a certain competency appeals strongly.
