"Going back" is important. I've been photographing Old Town, Albuquerque, for almost four years, and I'm not done with it yet.

This felt like how to take photos with the least spontaneity and the highest commercial value possible.

My TIP #1 - if you want to be a great landscape photographer you need to put yourself in front of interesting landscapes - TRANSLATE AS - you need a NATGEO budget to visit and revist these locations repeatedly along with gear sponsorship - its just so easy :)
