Nothing quite like taking a fine hobby and ruining it by taking it seriously.
Of course it's not just photography that's subject to this joy to work conversion. Most auto mechanics were youth that loved cars and loved to work on them, but by the time they're knocking their heads against the flat rate clock, the joy is either lost.....or worse.
One key method of keeping the joy in......is to keep the money out.
I used to be overly analytical about music, but one musician just told me to sit back and listen. Stop all that thinking. Save it for learning math.
Same for photos, I'll know in a glance if the glance suffices or if I'm going into a gaze.
