“You have a lifetime to learn technique, he seemed to be saying, but I can teach you what is more important than technique, how to see; learn that and all you have to do afterwards is press the shutter.—–

I Don’t Care

“I don’t care. I really don’t. At the end of the day, all I want to do is look at great photographs. This isn’t a contest to see who can make it the hardest to get a great shot. The result is what matters. I don’t really care if you use Photoshop or iPhoto or Aperture or Lightroom or none of the above or all of the above. I don’t care if you used or did not use filters, actions or special effects. I don’t care if you shot digital or film or if you manipulated the image.I don’t care if you used HDR or tone mapping or didn’t. Unless you’re a photojournalist and I’m looking at your images in the “New York Times,” I don’t care if you posed people, cloned out distractions, changed colors or anything else. All I care about is the picture! If it’s good, I like it. If it’s not, I don’t and the process that you went through to get it, isn’t relevant to me at all – period.
From The Book “72 Essays On Photography” by  Scott Bourne
This book is in Amazon and it only cost 99 cents , it’s one of the best books i have read about what photography really is , this book and Jay Maisel’s “It’s not about the F Stop” are the best ones i have read , and that is because they say it like it is and by doing so will give you the correct advice that you can use to stop wasting time in things that do not help you in your photography.

• “There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment.”

• Don McCullin

• “Photography for me is not looking, it’s feeling. If you can’t feel what you’re looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures.”

• Juan Ortega Quotes

• A lot of photographers think that photography is about capturing images, but it’s not, photography is about capturing emotions or feelings, photographers should be renamed to “Catchers of Feelings” or “Feelings hunters”

• “Photographs should not be categorized between good or bad, but they should be categorized as strong or weak, strong emotions or weak emotions”

Acquire knowledge to grow, to be wiser, to be a better human Being, not to be a more knowledgeable person
