Regardless of the medium, good artists know their tools. Having said that, science does not outweigh art. Without a creative vision, we just repeat what we have already done.Bill Gileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14489162998247361041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30664106.post-40729475703379895832010-01-30T04:03:40.153-08:002010-01-30T04:03:40.153-08:00I agree with what you are saying.

Knowing the technical will allow you to create your vision, but focusing on the technical squashes the creative process.Orcatekhttp://orcatek.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30664106.post-58802168072622956072010-01-29T22:28:41.437-08:002010-01-29T22:28:41.437-08:00Great advice.

I've often thought that lots of "strobist" types kind of get caught up in the methodology and gear of lighting to the point where it becomes THE object, and as you say, the subject is rather secondary.<br /><br />I can understand that. Because some people are wired that way. And that's ok. There's plenty of room to play in one or more of photography's sandboxes.<br /><br />But most of the time, we're more interested in the capturing something special about the subject than we are about highlighting the medium or technique. At least I am. I want the technique to work for me, but not draw attention to itself.<br /><br />I TOTALLY agree with your advice about learning in stages, over time. It's the best way to master something to the point of it being a tool you use intuitively.Ed Veroskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957763880782077667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30664106.post-20352059446298115512010-01-29T15:59:15.594-08:002010-01-29T15:59:15.594-08:00Great advice for those starting out and pearls of ...Great advice for those starting out and pearls of wisdom for those who think they've arrived.WillThttp://boudoirphotographer.squarespace.com/blog/noreply@blogger.com
