Tracy, I agree. There is the act of taking a photo - akin to the
snapshots of the old days - and today's gear is easy to do that with -
using little to no skills - heck, even my phone can take an 5 mp pic and
it has an HDR mode - but to create a memorable image, one that is both
beautiful to behold and evocative of emotion - will that is where the
artistry comes in. Some pics are catch and record - events and moments -
and that that makes them memorable - but many others have layers of
moods and impressions - and, as in painterly art, the artist must take
some license to get the point across, so must the photographic artist. I
have no issues with bending the rules - in fact, I am one who believes
that rules were meant to be bent/broken - or at least questioned. True
creativity cannot exist within structure. If structure were permitted to
reign, then all the artwork would look the same.

With today's technology, anyone off the street can take a good

not to me if they do it pre or post shutter.
