The first step is taking a sh#t load of photos so you can actually see that you suck.

There is no step 0 it is actually the reason I need the program. The problem as Jordan hints at started when I purchased a camera and assumed because now I had a camera I could swiftly learn to take decent photos. Several years later I'm just starting to learn my assumption needs to be revised.

If your photos aren't good enough you are not close enough.

GAS helps you to suck and can be harmful to your well being.
