The photographer is like a cod, which produces a million eggs in order that one may reach maturity. Many photographers strive to become famous and rich. They want to make a name for themselves and make a lot of money. This means they have to do things that are very unnatural to them.
But, what they don’t realize is that if they do something to make themselves famous, they will lose their true identity and become soulless. In the end, they will only produce a million eggs that one may reach maturity.
