At the beginning of my street photography journey, I paid a lot of attention to the number of photos I took during my walk. Productivity was significantly important to me.
Indeed, the number of pictures taken during my photographic walking was a key indicator. Nevertheless, I believe that today the number of how many photographs you shoot is not the crucial case. Like with many other things, it is the quality of the pictures that counts. Not the quantity. For today, the most critical issue regarding statistics in productivity is how many times I get out on the streets to take photographs. I was writing this post on 29/07/2018. The average number of walking during last summer weeks was four times a week. I think it is quite a good result. The summer days are quite long so that I can take pictures even in the evening. Undoubtedly, the number of photo walks will decrease during the winter.
It is the time when the days become shorter. One of my tactics to run this website is to produce images and texts in advance. Thanks to that, I do not have to worry that I will not have anything to publish three times a week.
For me, the key to success in art is to remain highly productive in photography and writing.
In one of the previous posts, I have mentioned that I try to be as prolific an artist as possible. For example, Pablo Picasso drew/painted 1-2 images per day during his adult life. I can imagine that if I want to become such a prolific artist as a famous Spanish master, I would have to take 1-2 walkings with a camera per day. It would be crazy, and for today it is impossible to achieve. Days and nights are too short of accomplishing it.
Nevertheless, I would like to encourage you, my Dear Guest, to become a prolific and productive artist like Picasso. The fact is that the doings, activity, and practice make us master many aspects of our life. Do not pay too much attention to the numbers. Go out and take as stunning photographs as possible. Remember that it is better to return home with one great picture than with one hundred boring photos.
