It may be old, but it is becoming more so every day. I only have to look at my 1 year old house that I am repairing. Everything from plumbing leaks to shoddy wiring; I had outlets not grounded, pvc landscape pipes not glued, paint job on exterior, they missed large areas and gutters that leak. I have repaired most of the items because if they couldn't do it right the first time, the second time is usually worse.

Also I am a fine-art photographer; the quality of photography has dropped considerably in the past 10 years. New photographers don't seem to feel that learning the craft is important. You have to become a craftman first to allow your vision to grow.

A quote by Ansel Adams: There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept.
