Photography is art

"Photography is the power of observation, not the application of technology." Ken Rockwell.

Wow, that is the basics of photography. By noticing something interesting, that brings the eye in an capture that moment. The important part is seeing the photo before hand….. Taking the picture is easy.

Photography is art.

Camera do not makes the photos. It's easy to blame bad photos on a camera. Photography is communicating passion and sparking excitement in the mind and body of another person. If you don't care about the subject then the results won't get beyond the basics. Care deeply and incredible things happen. Don't care and you are quickly forgotten.

"If I feel something strongly, I make a photograph. I do not attempt to explain the feeling." Ansel Adams.

Photography is the art of communicating passion. You need to be passionate about whatever it is that you photograph. If you are passionate you'll get great results, if you don't care, you won't.

A photograph is not about technique. A photograph is communicating something, be it an idea, concept, feeling, thought or whatever, to a total stranger. For a photograph to be effective you have to be clear with what you're communicating.

Ansel Adams said "There is nothing worse than a sharp photograph of a fuzzy idea."
