It's really interesting to read about how you work. Discipline must be a priority when freelance hey. I think I'd find it tricky - I'm too easily distracted!

It takes some specific rules that you have constantly remind yourself to do, but honestly, if I can learn to keep myself focused with it then anyone can. I had the worst case of ADD growing up! :)

Great article! Also just read the one on street photography. I live in Sao Paulo and have been meaning to go out and shoot by myself forever, but the fact is I'm scared of being mugged, especially being a woman... Haven't quite got up the courage to do this on a daily basis yet.

Thanks Barbara. Yeah where I'm at mugging is not usually an issue. Be very careful if you're not in a good area. It can also help to bring a friend with you and just shoot like half a block away from each other.
