High School…a lot of memories we’d like to live again…a lot of moments we’d rather forget. Good or bad, the photos we took while in High School are recollections of a moment gone by.

Artists look at life differently than non-artists. We notice detail. We appreciate the nuance and beauty. Artists respond differently to the world than non-artists. We tend to be more sensitive.
 
Nothing can sharpen ones understanding about the nuances of photography more than macro (or close-up) photography. The image projected on the “film plane” (i.e., film or a digital sensor) is close to the same size as the subject. We would say the image is a 1:1 ratio.

With the advent of digital photography, two types of photographers have emerged.  One who sees digital photography as a new form of communication - the communicator; this person simply takes photos and shares them quickly to friends and family through social networking sites such as Facebook and Flickr.  This person's relationship with photography pretty much ends at the shutter button and wants the camera to deliver decent photos with minimal effort. 

The second is someone who is serious with the craft of photography - the artist; this person is looking to create the best photographs possible, either for passion or money.

Digital photography isn't the only change; mobile digital photography has made a huge difference.  These days a person almost always has a camera available at a moment's notice.  Also, most recent camera phones can do video.  So where does a mobile phone camera fit in photography?

Dog photos, cat photos…rooster photos…it’s all the same to me. Maybe it’s my allergies when I get around animals…but I tend NOT to gravitate to general animal photos.  Pet’s doing tricks, running around out of control, or licking the shoe wax off my loafers is not the way to make photo points with me.
