The Visual Student » Photographer Couples: Carla Winn and Jim Winn

be aware that every person out there with a digital camera is your direct competition, and the quality of your work isn’t really a huge selling factor. Obviously you have to be good at what you do, but most people don’t know what a good picture is – as long as it’s in focus and has a lot of color people think it’s fantastic. A good example is MSNBC.com’s Week in Pictures (which is great, by the way). The picture with the most votes is consistently the cute one, or the one with the most color – not necessarily the one that took the most photographic skill to produce.
