These emails come with the intent of helping you be a better photographer. But if you're tired of hearing from me, unsubscribe.

And if you want more photography stuff to read, there's a place on the interwebs where past emails I wrote are stored. You'll find 'em in the "Newsletter Hub."

Remember, I'd like to know what you want to know about photography. So, if you have any questions, email me at sam@samdamico.com. And for what it's worth. When you send me an email, unless someone's lookin' over my shoulder, I'm the only one that sees it.

Hello, .

I hope you’re enjoying the holidays and making plenty of pictures.

Unsurprisingly, we take a photography class because we’re having photography problems that frustrate and disappoint us. 
 

We have big problems and little problems.

For example, if we don't know how to operate our camera effectively, don’t like our compositions, and have never considered and described light, that’s a big problem that’s usual among photographers working in fully automatic exposure mode that needs fixing because fixing it makes us better photographers and ends our frustration and disappointment.

Then there’s little problems.
 

An example of a little problem is maintaining a consistent tonality while working in aperture and shutter priority mode.

Another might be not knowing how to meter while trying to achieve a tonality we prefer in fully manual exposure mode.

We tend to overlook the little problems.

However, not addressing little problems means we’ll soon be back to not being happy with our work.

Either that, or we define being happy with our work as “okay with little problems.”

Fixing the big and small problems is a commitment to quality and a constant quest against not caring as we seek to consistently deliver thoughtfully composed unique pictures.
