2. This article was about photographer, Will Brown, and the discouraging advice he received from John Szarkowski at the age of 37 and the effects it had on Brown's career. Brown showed Szarkowski the photos in 1974 to which Szarkowski told him, "you should find your own way of photographing. Your own voice. These look like someone else's voice." Brown packed his photos away in a box and they didn't see the light of day until recently and are now the subject of a solo exhibition at the Laurence Miller Gallery in New York and were published in a book, The Picture That Remains, alongside the poetry of Tom Devaney.
3. I learned that discouraging advice shouldn't deter you from what you love because it may just be the wrong time. If you keep at it, eventually things may fall into place and your hard work will be recognized.

5. If you have a photo to post, answer the following questions:
a. I picked this photo because it was my favorite from the website. I really like old cars and old black & white photos so this one stood out to me.
b. The rule of photography that is most evident to me is balance because everything in the photo is pretty even on either side.
c. The photo was taken by Will Brown in 1973.
