In the beginning there was darkness, and the photographer said there was not enough light for a good exposure. So on the first day a photographer said, "Let there be lights," and the strobes flashed and the subject was illuminated. And for six days the photographer commanded his camera to bring forth the subject in his images. And on the seventh day the subject was fully documented and the photographer wanted to rest but had to pack up his lights and coil his cords and put away the umbrellas, and pack his tripod, and... Soon thereafter, there was conjured from the RAW pixels the "Hero" shot... And the Hero was blessed by the client, when the client said "WOW". After 30 days the photographer was paid, and all was good with the world.
And that, my friend, is why photography is just like life...
