I found the name of that photographer (RIP), who lives in Florida and who taught. Also has a thing about quantity over quality. But his own site didn't specifically mention this anecdote. I've also read the pottery one.

I'd love to know if either are real and verifiable.

The lesson is most likely real and applicable either way.

My experience with writing, music, and photography is that I get better results trying a bunch of different things rather than focusing on one or a few. The quality is still variable, but the hit rate is much higher. I can then switch to polishing a batch of hits rather than trying to turn a single idea into a hit.
