It's shocking how little many top people know. Years ago I knew one of the top photographers in the world. One day I get a call. How do I use the flash? He always used natural light or had assistants set up lights. I gave him the basics. He called a few days later to say it worked great
A few days later I went to his studio. He showed me his latest photos of a model, in a handmade cage, lined with white lace with doves flying around her. It looked like a dream. Rays of light surrounded the model, in soft focus.
From a guy who did not know the basics of photography. He did everything intuitively.
He just created. Doing what he felt was right for him.

"The truth of the matter is that I've rarely known what I was doing." Hm. This resonates! But... wisdom does not easily check tidy boxes, Rob. This is the less grasp-able side of our intellect that is rarely regarding as having "value" in the general marketplace. But i believe it is the thing that will actually *rescue* us after everything has been broken. 💗

Holy smokes, I love everything about this anecdote. Thanks for sharing, Allan.
Can relate quite a bit
does your inner expert guy also have a weirdly on-the-nose name??
Ha no. But I’m inspired to create one now!
Rob you are on 🔥
