You Don't Take A Picture, You Make

The Craft Of Photography Is The Key To Good Images.

Photography Is An Investigation Of Both The Outer And The Inner Worlds. The First Experiences With The Camera Involve Looking At The World Beyond The Lens, Trusting The Instrument Will 'capture' Something 'seen.' The Terms Shoot And Take Are Not Accidental; They Represent An Attitude Of Conquest And Appropriation. Only When The Photographer Grows Into Perception And Creative Impulse Does The Term Make Define A Condition Of Empathy Between The External And The Internal Events.

Black And White Photography Is Truly Quite A 'departure From Reality', And The Transition From One Aspect Of Visual Magic To Another Was Not As Complete As Many Imagine.
