“Making photos is helpful of course to master the craft. To get comfortable with the camera. Learn what a camera can do and how to use the camera successfully. Doing exercises for example if you try to find out things that the camera can do that the eye cannot do. So that you have a tool that will do what you need to be done. But then once you have mastered the craft the most important thing is to determine why you want to shoot pictures and what you want to shoot pictures of. That's where the thematic issue comes to life.” IfsWantNeedsTryingImportantDoneUseEyeCoursesCan DoIssuesExampleMastersExerciseComfortableToolsCamerasImportant ThingsDetermineWhat You WantCraftsHelpfulThematic Author:Leonard Nimoy

“Know your job and don't fake it. It looks easy, but the ones that make it look easy know what the hell they're doing.
