Read a record of the questions asked of I Ching, read the response, and read the comments of others

my gut is drawn to photographic camerawork. I have the patience to wait for my time. I want to practice this art. Not sure where it will lead. My only will is for the practice, for beauty, enlightenment, sharing vision. I know the quest is worthy of my time, but direction is blurred, and i need some clarification. too many photographers, too many photographs, too much ego involved in the field- a major turn off. this is not in one's truth.?
and received a response of:
