Shoot a ton, Delete a ton
“The better the photographer, the bigger the trash can.” I heard that first from Jered Gruber, arguably the greatest cycling photographer of all time. Some days, shooting the Tour de France, Jered will shoot thousands of photos. Then, at night, he’ll edit them all down to a few selects, effectively taking the diamonds from the rough. When I rode across Europe last year, I shot 10,000 photos and deleted 8,800. There’s really only 10 good photos in 10,000 anyways. Memory cards are so cheap, you might as well fill them up!

As John Dewey wrote a century ago, “It seems almost incredible to us, for example, that things which we know very well, could have escaped recognition in past ages. We incline to account for it by attributing congenital stupidity to our forerunners and by assuming superior native intelligence on our own part. But the explanation is that their modes of life did not call for attention to such facts, but held their minds riveted to other things.”
