Simplicity: an easy way to enjoy image creation

Some folks spent their lives trying hard to bring home outstanding images. I still believe in synchronicity between your soul and the subject. The camera don't matter, unless you're is a pro photographer working for a client who need a given kind of imaging, such large gormat prints, studio shots in wich the extreme detailing are mandatory.

If your way is toward fine art, the better approach is keep the hart in charge, and let your eyes follows.

Take a cheap camera. If it got manual adjustment, better. If not, don't mind. Just keep trying to match the way you look to reality with the focal length of your tiny toy. How the camera register colors, contrast and the sharpness of your subjects?

Forget software pieces like Aperture or Photoshop.

Try to bring your creative surge up, just using in camera resources. Better yet, learn to be your own curator and "edit" the masterpieces of each session. Don't put every shot on a virtual card box, where the pictures gonna be forgotten forever. Print the best photo of each session. Ever.

Try to increase the size of your prints, even if the "web expert" don't recommend. Find your own expression values.

That's the only way to be a point out of a curve.
