I dreamed I was photographing professionally again. The nightmare portion of the dream was the realization of how much I had forgotten, and this raises a practical point. You gain and lose skills in a career. There are too many crafts in PR to keep them all up to snuff all the time. Today, I couldn't shoot a professional level photo if I had to do so and had the time to do it.
Good photographers have great talent and greater discipline.
They also have digital cameras and a whole new way of operating. The more years that you spend in PR, the larger the number of skills that you will develop, drop and never use again. Perhaps, if you are lucky, you will redevelop some skills and remember just enough of others to pick them up again when you need them. PR teaches humility. This was at a time when they were dismissed as toys.
