A beautiful essay by Tony Kuyper. Tony, as some (many?) of us know, is the author of the powerful TK panel extensions for Photoshop.

Normally, photographers come off as sophomoric when they try hard to sound 'deep' and philosophical (those specimens are not hard to find on the web and even here on FM). Tony writes simply & clearly, and even though the essay is deeply personal, he draws our attention to some truths in an unselfconscious manner.

PS: Edited to correct spelling of Tony’s last name.

Lesson one: Stop chasing the light and focus on where it might be hiding instead.
Lesson two: Don’t ignore ordinary.
Lesson three: It’s easier finding light once you’ve found your style.
Lesson four: Taking the picture is only the beginning. Developing the image personalizes it.
Lesson five: We are all photographers, even if we don’t take pictures.
Very insightful and comprehensive explanation about photograph tips.
Thanks to your sharing this helpful essay for every beginner of photography like me.

A good read. I like Tony's new direction as much as his old Colorado Plateau details.
