Quote: “I am constantly torn between the attitude of the conscientious journalist who is a recorder and interpreter of the facts and of the creative artist who often is necessarily at poetic odds with the literal facts.”

Thought for the day: A Painful But VERY Useful Exercise
Take a bunch of your finished images. Maybe a handful to a dozen dozens*. Downselect them to the best 10%. Further downselect to the best image. I use to find this exercise difficult and painful. Still hard for me to do but the selection/evaluation can lead to better new photos and improvements in what you show people.
