On August 16th, 2009, Usain Bolt smashed his own world record in the 100m dash in just 9.58 seconds, see how it unfolded here #NBCSports #UsainBolt #NBCOlympics " Subscribe to NBC Sports: https://www.youtube.com/nbcsports?sub...

Usain Bolt is the fastest man in the world. In a sport where every millisecond counts, you'd think he had the best running technique. He didn't.

The real difference comes to light when you compare him to his rivals. While everyone is tense before the race, he's smiling and already having fun. While everyone runs like perfect machines, his form is natural, light, and yet powerful.

Is he having fun because he's so good? Or is he so good because he's having fun?

I believe it's the latter.

Perhaps we could apply this to our photography. Perhaps we should loosen up, have more fun, improvise more, think less, forget about proper technique, dismiss proper composition.
