I think most people gravitate towards something they find of interest, whether it be macro, landscapes, people...(whatever floats your boats...so to speak). There are those that show a consistancy in their work, it could be lighting...tones, subject matter (a whole lot of things) that becomes instantly recognized, right off the bat! you KNOW it's their stuff. So I do feel a STYLE develops in one way or another! Some of us just haven't discovered ours per say yet. We are all inspired by whats around us! I think digital photography in general has enabled us to break free and experiment more (and it shows!) It's the (almost)real-time gratification of capturing THAT moment...the magic that comes through in the end! That let's out creativity SHINE and allows us to SHARE it! Just my 2 cents (with a bit of pocket lint thrown in) L8r! Joe
