As the photo editor and director of a department of staff photojournalists I don’t always shoot the best assignments. My opportunities to photograph something visual are often limited. This can really put me in a funk. The problem really isn’t non-visual assignments but what I make of them. So my goal is to work assignments harder and hold my self accountable. Which means I need to start posting more of my daily work, even if it’s not the best. But don’t worry I won’t post the real stinkers.
