About this Quote
Herb Ritts' quote speaks to the journey of learning and growth that features any innovative pursuit.

Nevertheless, it also means that you might not have the very same level of understanding of the craft that more knowledgeable practitioners have. As Ritts suggests, it is necessary to find out the history of the craft in order to acquire a deeper understanding of it and to be able to produce work that is notified by the past.
