Photography

Photography becomes an obsession for anyone who gets trapped in its web. You think you are in control because you can set the fstop and the shutter speed but you are wrong. Photography consumes you. If you are a dedicated photographer, you cannot walk down a path without looking for a photograph, even if you are without your camera. As a photographer I see things that other people miss but I am always looking for the picture. A photographer can be without his/her camera, but a photographer is always taking pictures, whether with his eyes or with a camera. Photography unlike many other arts is portable, it is hard taking an easel with you on a spur of the moment trip, but a camera can always be thrown in a bag and carried along. A musician has to plan when he takes his/her instrument, a photographer does not. And now with the digital revolution, you don't even have to worry about file, just throw a few compact flash cards in your camera bag and you are ready to take photographs.
