I do not know if what I am going to tell adds anything "new" or not. As I am an engineer I am too pragmatic. I have no education in art or photography (a discipline of art as I call it). I am not allways in the mood to photograph although I see what surrounds me and I say to myself: ... if I had the necessary concentration I would love to capture what my (eyes) soul see. It is a clichbut photography that is not the eyes of our own mind is not photography (nor even a postcard). There are technical rules to follow when photographing but some are to be broken and the best photographers did what they thought it was right for what they felt and tried to express. I started here in Renderosity very recently and allowed "people" to rank my photos at first; then I gave it a second thought and all I want now is to have the feedback because ranking is too subjective and I do not want my photographs to be ranked by a "large audience". For me photography is not a hobby nor even a way to make money (or to have a "large club of fans"). IT IS PASSION !
