Henri Cartier-Bresson famously said “Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst.” In his book, Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell explains the 10,000 Hour Rule: If you want to become an expert at something, you need to spend at least ten thousand hours practicing.

I’m not sure that I have taken 10,000 photographs or spent 10,000 hours practicing the craft…and I certainly don’t claim to be an expert. But I do love making photographs, and I hope that comes through in my work.
