It’s probably fair to say that for many photographers the journey through photography can be seen as a linear one.

As our understanding and knowledge grows, we mark it with trophies such as awards, images framed on walls, invitations to judge and possibly even exhibitions. Perhaps it is a Western thing, this idea of all knowledge and the acquisition of it being an essentially linear process.
I would beg to differ.
