"THE POETIC BEAUTY IN PHOTOGRAPHY IS TRULY FOUND IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER".

It was Ancient belief that taking ones picture was to have the subjects soul stolen away from them in some voodoo-like kind of abduction ceremony. All folklore aside, Photography is one of the most honest and soul bearing artforms ever created. Instead of taking away, a Photograph breaths life and art into our everyday lives. Opposite to what the Ancients believed, instead of stealing the talents soul, a photograph can actually bear it in a way even those same Ancients could never have imaged.
With the invention of DSLR and SLR camera's (Digital), cellphone app programs such as Instagram and Flickr, The revolution of Photography is booming. The abiltiy to manipulate and control photographic situations has become much more user friendly over the last couple years. With so many technical advancements and resources to our disposal, really all thats left is to actually go out and take some photos. Alot can be said on how to compose the "perfect" shot. What lenses to use and what is the "perfect" FD filter to add. However, in the end...one statement really captures the spirit and essence of what it means to be a PHOTOGRAPHER. That statement goes like this: "THE POETIC BEAUTY IN PHOTOGRAPHY IS TRULY FOUND IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER". If you understand this, you understand what's next....and......With that said......Go out and take some pictures! Good luck!
