Simplified Meaning:

When you start taking photos, the first many you take won't be very good. This is because you're still learning and practicing, and it takes time to get better. Think about when you first learned to ride a bike. At first, you fell a lot and couldn't go very far without help. But the more you practiced, the better you got. Photography is similar. Each photo you take helps you learn and improve. For example, think of a famous photographer. When they first started, their pictures weren't as amazing as the ones we admire now. They took thousands of photos, learning from each one, before they became really skilled. This idea encourages people to keep going and not get discouraged by early mistakes. By practicing a lot, you get better and eventually produce amazing work. So, if you enjoy taking pictures, keep taking them, and recognize that every photo helps you grow and improve.
