When the Work is good, you will know it – alec soth
Wednesday, December 17th, 2008An interesting post on the 2waylens blog about Alec Soth and advice for the emerging photographer.
After college, I did five or so projects over the course of ten years. I showed my work locally in Minnesota but knew I wasn’t ready for prime time. But eventually I found my groove and did a project I was really proud of. I started winning grants and prizes. One thing led to another and the work was eventually exposed to a broader audience.
Full story here.
This ten year plus reference seems to tally with The Story of Success by Malcolm Gladwell ( see previous post) , in which Gladwell speaks about the amount of time you need to put in to your art before you can achieve greatness.
