    There are a few photographers who I make part of my weekly viewing. I watch them for a few reasons - two of the most important things that keep me going back to their channels is the quality of content and their dynamic personalities. One of these photographers is Nick Page. Many of you will be familiar with him. He is one of the most talented landscape photographers around. His latest video had a title that really stuck out to me and seemed out of place from what he usually posts because most of his videos provide tips for photographers to improve their skills. The title of his video was "I suck and so does social media".
