I think he does a great job of explaining how he thought about his pictures before taking them. How they were composed, exposed and developed to say what he wanted to say with each photo. He was from a time when you had to haul a heavy ass camera out into the wilderness and up a mountain, guess the correct exposure, with only a few chances to get the shot, and no way to know how it was going to look until you get back to your dark room and start working on the plate/film. The stakes were so much higher for each shot, I feel like his insights are extremely valuable nowadays, where the machine-gun photography approach is so common

Which is totally fine right? Unless he belongs to some sort of extremist group that base their identity around intolerance, racism and homophobia.. but that's just crazy talk! This guy could be the new VP!

I believe the French invented a great process to deal with this exact situation

"Understanding Exposure" Is great for the technical aspects of photography, and for the soft skills take a look at Ansel Adams' books

Wrestle the pig first, every day. Whatever is your worst, most unpleasant, annoying task for the entire day, do it before you do anything else. It minimizes your stress and worrying and puts it in the rearview mirror.
