Thank you very much for these. I didn’t even realise I was making most of these mistakes until I read them on this list.

The first quote came to mind when I was at a church one Sunday and an older lady came up to me and asked: You take photographs, right? Well, you might think: what’s wrong with the question?… well the thing is, in any language, there is a formal way of asking someone something. For example, in Germany, if I greeted my friend, I would say: Hallo meine freunde! If it were a person that I didn’t know or older than me, then i’d say: Wer kommen Sie? (sorry for my bad German, I’m two years out of H.S. and trying to remember a good example). Anyways, I was surprised. Another good example to illustrate this quote. My older brother bought a 1994 Toyota Supra. When he came into America’s Tire Co. to look for some wheels, all the people there called him “Sir” and “Mister”. The same day he came on an older 1988 Honda Accord, they acted as if he wasn’t there.

The second quote came after I was taking many candid shots and people started calling me a sniper. So that’s how the quotes were born.

I encourage you to make your own quotes, why use someone else’s, when you can use yours? =)

That list – is an eye opener for some. A quarter of this list – i already knew myself, because I learned on my own pretty much. I bought my camera from my uncle and he only showed me a few things, the rest i learned on my own. Still learning. I have an older camera, Nikon D1x (http://a.img-dpreview.com/news/0102/nikon/d1x-big.jpg).

I made up two quotes:

1. Having a professional camera, doesn’t make you a professional photographer.
2. Being a photographer is like being a sniper: you have to wait for the perfect moment to shoot.
