Photographers may not be born as such, but through the human eye and imagination any and all can have a photographic quality and style all their own within their work. So what makes an image better than another? The eye of the beholder or the eye of the photographer? The beholder sees the image as it is, the photographer sees the image as what it will become. Does equipment take an important role in quality and creativity, or is it just the person behind the camera shooting away until a magical moment has been captured.

Where does the answer lie for great essence in a picture and composition? It lies within the heart and endless imagination of anyone that picks up a camera and decides to take a snap or two. It is released with every sigh and gesture that makes us thrive for perfection that we may or may not reach, according to how hard we are on ourselves. Equipment can make a difference to some extent, but great equipment can never compensate for lack of drive and determination.  Photography takes passion, love and creativity. It cannot be judged by the closed mind, but by the craft weilded by the camera person as they become a blacksmith in their own right, meticulously piecing together works of art day in and day out.

To everyone taking pictures and cherishing moments, there is no right and wrong, teaching or learning, critiquing or criticism that can make an image as well as the essence you have put into your pictures and craft. Keep snapping away for a long time to come.
