Another one from
On Writing.
If you want to write well, you have to do two things. Read a lot and write a lot. There's no way around it.
The photographic parallel is blatent - not just taking a lot of photos - and trying to finding the muse along the way. But also, looking at a lot of photos, not just your own, but looking at books of photography, finding what feeds your eye. Working at it is the only way forward, towards being productive and creative.
Nobody is going to sprinkle pixie dust on your camera and have great pictures magically appear.

for the picture? No, it was Austin last Christmas
Darn, I had been looking all over for that pixie dust and now you tell me that it wouldn't work anyway.
It's great to get these reminders, isn't it that there are no shortcuts?
Read. Write. Take pictures. Look at pictures.
Hell...when am I supposed to have time for a cocktail?
