No one just starts out as a Professional Photographer. Like most things we need to do it to get better, plus we should do that thing with someone who is better at it then us. So being able to be a photographers assistant is sometimes a great experience. Here’s an article that talks about 12 Rules that will help you better prepare and be successful.
Here is a big list of tips from Eric Kim. I may not 100% agree with all of them. But definitely the majority. Great list to keep in your thoughts.

I have a little girl who is now 7 years old. I remember getting her a Sony Cybershot 4 megapixel camera for her birthday at the age of 3 (i think). It was an open box, end of life camera that cost me $40. But it was a real camera. Nothing made by Fisher Price. This was a camera that could actually take pretty good little pictures and it was hers. She carried it around every where. We now have a large amount of pictures of her fingers, pictures of the tv, pictures of her feet, and so on. But we also have some fantastic photos that were taken by her that I couldn’t or just didn’t get while the two of us where out. So what am i getting at? Well my little one is now 7 and she has had her own camera(s) for 4ish years now. And at the age of 7 she can compose fairly well, she doesn’t cut off peoples heads and so on. Firstly that makes me feel awesome!! But mostly it makes her feel awesome!! Its a creative outlet for her, and its something that she gets to do with me, which we both love.
So read this article that i came across and get your kids interested in photography. They might never be great at it, but even if that gets the two of you out doing stuff together, that should be worth it!!!

Ok, this app seems very interesting to me. It seems to be able to almost (and i mean almost) sorta grab RAWs kinda.
PRO 645 intercepts the camera data after it’s been initially processed (demosaiced and with processing parameters such as white balance and sharpening applied), but before the phone compresses it. This file can be be saved as a TIFF (presumably 8-bit), alongside a JPEG version with whichever of the app’s image manipulations you’ve chosen to apply. These JPEGs are also much less compressed than the iPhone’s default compression, which is usually the starting point for most apps (equivalent to the maximum quality option in Photoshop, the developer claims).
Check out the complete article here.

Here’s just a quick video that I came across, detailing some of the new features in this camera.
