Briefly, Ryan Pfluger

True Story.

Other photographers can’t tell you what equipment you should use, what’s the best lens, what film to use, what you do in photoshop, what’s the best camera, how far away you should be from a subject, what time of day to shoot or what kind of diet you should have to be a better photographer (ok, i made the last one up).  Experiment people!  Try new things out, rent from a local rental house before you purchase something.  Use different kinds of film under different lighting conditions.  Find out what works for you.  It’s funny that even with digital photography being so prevalent, people still get so nervous to try new things out.  The best advice I can give any aspiring photographer who asks any of the above questions, is to try it out.  I’m always forcing myself to take that exact advice, solely because being complacent is never a good thing.
