Everybody Is An Expert On One Thing



I just loved this quote today, from and interview in the San Francisco Chronicle with author William T. Vollmann by writer Justin Berton.

Can it really be a quote if half of it is blacked out?

Yea, but I'm a photographer. The whole deal of being a photographer is just choosing what stuff I want to show you guys...just showing what I want you to see. I gotta use my skills, you know?

Yeah, I'm and expert at being me, but value attributable to that title diminishes with time. Calling someone an expert has little currency unless you plan on following expert advice. Consequently I'm an expert at following my own advice.
