    Well since I believe that learning to be good at what you do you need to understand and learn from the greats of past. This is a short 10 minute video at youtube speaking with Stephen Shore:

    Stephen Shore was interested in photography from an early age. Self-taught, he received a photographic darkroom kit at age six. He began to use a 35mm camera three years later and made his first color photographs. At ten he received a copy of Walker Evans's book, American Photographs, which influenced him greatly. His career began at the early age of fourteen, when he made the precocious move of presenting his photographs to Edward Steichen, then curator of photography at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). Recognizing Shore's talent, Steichen bought three of his works. At age seventeen, Shore met Andy Warhol and began to frequent Warhol's studio, the Factory, photographing Warhol and the creative people that surrounded him. In 1971, at the age of 24, Shore became the second living photographer to have a solo exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art

    An excellent and instructive video. Loved it.
    Hard to see the mastery of sharpness and colour in this video (due to the video quality)...but WOW on the composition. EXCELLENT composition.
