Ain't that the truth. One of my heroes in the advertising photography business - who retired a wealthy man owning a six story bank building in lower Manhattan - once answered a question about how he did it, he just replied that there was no real secret - he just kept pounding away until he got what he liked. He also coined the mantra that "If it's worth a shot, it's worth a roll. If it's worth a roll, it's worth ten rolls."
