I was thinking the other day that Joe McNally had it right when he said that the best shoots are the free ones! They are the assignments you give to yourself. They are the ones that "you do for yourself, for whatever reason, and hopefully come out of it on the other side a better photographer."


These are the assignments that force you to use whatever is in your bag, and whatever is laying around to create the best image possible with what you have...and this in turn forces you to push yourself and learn from the experience...and that is always a good thing!
