I came into the profession thinking that if one had great work it would sell itself.......HUGE mistake.
This was my point ... it is classic.
The \"saying\" @ 10:90 isn\'t meant to be an accurate assessment ... but it is intended to cause someone to consider that they may need to give more credence to something (10% inspiration, 90% perspiration) than they have previously given.
There are a zillion good photographers and a zillion people out there with great ideas. But without the business effort / hard work ... talent and a brilliant idea alone typically aren\'t sufficient for most endeavors to sustain success. Imo, the question that new entries should be asking themselves isn\'t if the water is fine, but if they are strong enough to swim well against opposing currents, riptides and swells when the occur.
