Here\'s something that gives me some perspective as well ... referring to the mindset of someone who makes images, whether that be with a camera or a brush. The painter gets to choose what he wants to portray for others to see ... so do we.
Rembrant or Monet, watercolor, oil, B&W, color, film or digital ... we are still making images ... that begin with our vision of what we want to present and then the execution to achieve it as we intend.
Without accepting that as part of the process, then our beloved camera is merely a heartless, soulless recording device. It doesn\'t matter if we desire to be realistic technician extraordinaire, or avante garde interpretive .... what does matter is that we know what it is that we are striving to portray to our viewers (self or others), and then we work to produce it to our satisfaction.
