The One Good Piece of Advice:

Brother Burr gave me is, to not compare yourself to your fellow students, but to those that are are already successful and professionals. You don't want to be the best of the worst, you want to be achieving and looking at the best. Or maybe Brother Franson said that. I like Brother Franson better, let's say he said it. So here are some of my favorite photographers:
