Can Empire Avenue compete with the Nobel Peace Prize?

In professional circles our school of photography Pathshala (www.pathshala.net) is considered to be one of the finest in the world. So it is no surprise that our students are excellent at their craft. However, having been in the profession for over 30 years and having worked in over 60 countries, I know full well that it takes more than photographic skills to become a successful photographer. People skills are essential and having a good online presence is mandatory.
