Good website. Just a note to say the cinematographer pictured above is actually another master of the craft, Gordon Willis. I’m sure neither one would get very upset at being mistaken for the other, they admired each other very much.

A very nice article, and the theme of advise can nicely cross many industries.

This post hit home particularly for me as I graduated last year. I had a better idea than my classmates how hard I’d have to work, given the situation with the economy. Rather than complaining about it I’ve been forced to adapt and work harder than I thought I’d have to.

Then again, that’s why I like doing what I do – this business doesn’t tolerate slackers and forces you to change and adapt all the time. I’ve wrestled for some time with “how to get noticed” by the right sort of people and all that. I still wrestle with that question – how to go about “making some noise” and getting people to notice me without being douchey about it. I haven’t been as successful as I’d like but that’s only motivated me to work harder and never waste opportunities that cross my path.

Without determination I think I would have given up by now.
