This famous photographer is quoted as saying:
When aspiring young photographers ask me for counsel, I suggest they first become students of the humanities, that they fill their lives with more than just technical information about the inner workings of the camera.
To make enduring photographs, it is far more important to know about the inner workings of the human mind and soul, for the heart and mind are the true lens of the camera.
The same could be said of the study and practice of law.
