I’m not a huge fan of prepared lists because they can take away from my creativity. When I have to concentrate on a list of traditional photos I tend to lose a bit of creative sight. Most photographers will end up taking those photos anyway but making them an absolute requirement takes a lot away from the photojournalistic approach.
