HT1418 - 10,000 Hours, Sort Of

You've probably heard the popular notion that it takes 10,000 hours of practice to master a skill. I'm not sure if that's true or not, but I do know from personal experience that my photographs of a given subject remain fairly trite and insignificant until I've photographed and finished 50 to 100 images. It takes that long to work through the obvious and the cliché.
