It’s official.

Welcome to Terrible Photographer.

You’ve officially joined a community of curious creatives, recovering perfectionists, and people who still believe photography can mean something.

Here’s what happens next:

  • You’ll get a welcome email in a few minutes with your downloads and your first Field Note.

  • A few days later, I’ll send a short follow-up with a couple questions to learn more about you (not weird ones, promise).
