10,000 photos

If I take 10,000 photos of my neighborhood, surely I’ll end up with 10 spectacular photos, right? Like statistically the chance that all those photos would be terrible would approach 0%.

Over time taking these photos, surely I’d change my process, hone my eye, practice my timing, practice my route.

I’d take photos of the obvious subjects, then I’d take photos of more subtle, surprising subjects.

Surely some coincidences would make for a spectacular photo. Surely at some point, I’d be at the right time and the right place for a unique event to happen, and for me to capture it, with 8,000 photos worth of experience making it automatic and natural.

Surely taking 10,000 photos would take so much time that by the time I take the last one, the first photo has gained interestingness by virtue of time passing (c.f. https://youtu.be/GPRZ8VxZ5Mw)
