This photography basically is all some desire we all have to produce art , and , also if we admit , have it recognized .
( Otherwise why bother posting images at all .)
Especially by ones ‘peers’ ( and there are levels of peers , with experience , knowledge , an eye , etc. )
It’s complicated and simple at the same time . Because then enters the equipment.
Enters human nature ...
I try to find the equipment that gives me the look I like . And is fun to use as well .
I would try every single camera and lens ever made if money were no object, I know I would ...
I wonder if in drawing those ancient cave paintings , did the wielder of that stick , want to make the drawing for himself , or to have others see it ,
Did one guy try a different stick , and try new mixes of charcoal ,
With a secret desire to say : ‘ see what I did , look at this new stick I have now .
Good isn’t it ... ‘
