“An amateur practices something until he gets it right.A professional practices until he can't get it wrong!”
“An ordinary archer practices until he gets it right. A ranger practices until he never gets it wrong.”
“Amateurs train until they get it right. Professionals train until they cannot get it wrong.”
“The anateur works until they get something right. The professional works until they can't go wrong.”
“Usually the amateur is defined as an immature state of the artist: someone who cannot — or will not — achieve the mastery of a profession. But in the field of photographic practice, it is the amateur, on the contrary, who is the assumption of the professional: for it is he who stands closer to the (i)noeme(i) of Photography.”
“Amateurs built the ark. Professionals built he Titanic.”
