Passion, Perseverance and Visualization
Delivery Boy, Substitute Teacher and Photography Blogs Three things you need to have to succeed in photography: passion, perseverance and visualization. I say that because success in photography, at least for me, has taken a long time.
It took me six years before I could quit my secondary jobs (gas station attendant, delivery boy, substitute teacher and landscape laborer) and rely on photography to support me. It took seven years from the time I started seriously shooting stock until I could give up assignment work. And have been working at SEO (and photo blogging) for a year now and am just starting to see real results.
To succeed in photography you have to have perseverance. To keep doing the things you need to do while waiting for that success you need passion.
