    - learn lightroom
    - hang out with other photogs. They'll take you to the places they like to shoot like hidden graffiti spaces and areas they've checked out
    - when you're somewhere where everything is really busy (festival, car show, crowds) focus on little details, isolate them
    - be really polite to people and talk to them first and then take their picture. I learned this advice from john holmes in relation to porn.
    - don't be a dick. that's likely already been decided depending on how you've chosen to live your life
    - get comfortable with 1 lens, it'll make getting around easier. preferably 35mm, but that's a personal preference. the 24-70 is called the brick for a reason, it's too fuckin big
    - the mechanics will come later, in layers
