For my first thirty years I was the writing guy: good at English in school and college, Masters in Literature, and a working journalist for The Irish Times and other publications in Ireland, the US and UK. And I’m the author of a a book of travel literature
Even my entrance into the world of technology came because I could write – in this case, training materials teaching people how to use Microsoft products (God help me).
This might seem like a lot of wasted time, or at best lots of irrelevant experience.
But since I’ve been pursuing photography more seriously over the last four or five years, I’ve come to see that a lot of the things I learned writing have been very useful when I have a camera in my hand.
