As photographers, we sometimes get caught up with the aesthetic or technical challenges of creating pretty pictures that we forget that art is supposed to challenge us intellectually, to help us see things in a different way.
Love unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend(copied).
Photography is the process of using a camera and light in conjunction with knowledge, experience and emotion to create an image. Although considered a practical skill due to its functional and technical components, the aesthetic side of photography means it is also an acceptable art form.

The trained eye has a natural capability of noticing visual arrangements that are not only interesting for the viewer, but also for the camera. It is helpful to realize (and remember) that a camera sees the world in a different way than we do. It is a machine that will always depict things in the same way: as flat objects placed in a two-dimensional space. To take control over the camera and force it to show what he sees, the photographer has to learn how to look at the world in a different way.
