A quick scan of headlines from the most popular photography blogs reveals a very common topic:

- “10 Common Mistakes Made by New Photographers”
- “5 Business Mistakes Photographers Make All the Time”
- “10 common camera mistakes every photographer makes”
- “9 Mistakes In Landscape Photography And How To Avoid Them”
- “10 Most Common iPhone Photography Mistakes”

Here’s the truth:

If you’re a pro, a mistake is not making a profit.   

If you’re an artist, a mistake is not provoking thought.   

If you’re neither, a mistake is defined totally by you, not a blog.
