Published in 2005 at Radiant Vista by photographer Craig M.Tanner, “The Myth of Talent” should be a required reading for anyone interested in becoming an artist

“Conventional wisdom says that it is not enough to dream. You need talent. And definition of talent lifted straight from the dictionary describes talent as “a natural ability of a superior quality”. In other words, you either have it or you don’t. I call this cultural flaw in our self-awareness the Myth of Talent. And buying into this dead end myth about ourselves is where it goes wrong for many people – particularly people who have a dream of becoming an artist.”
