If art didn’t exist, would you desire to still live?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To me, art can be anything done with intent, purpose, and soul.<\/p>\n

Art can be photos, art can be paintings, architecture, dance, theater, writing, fashion, etc.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Photography is art<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The question isn’t,<\/p>\n

\n “Is photography art?”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The question is:<\/p>\n

\n “How can you make photographs which you consider artful and beautiful?”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Simple ideas:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Decide which palette and aesthetic<\/a> makes beautiful photos in your eyes. <\/li>\n
  2. Continually pursue making photographs which you consider beautiful. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    \n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Photography augments your life. Photogrpahy gives you the chance to find beauty anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n

    Probably the best innovation in photography has been the smartphone camera. Now we can make artwork anywhere we are. We don’t have any more limitations!<\/p>\n

    What I also love about photography:<\/p>\n

    \n I open up my eyes to the souls, hearts, and lives of my fellow human beings.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Street photography is one of my passions in life, because it allows me to connect deeper with other humans.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    To me, there is nothing more fascinating than another human being.<\/p>\n

    Thus, being able to make artwork with other human beings in your photographs is the ultimate for me.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The camera is the most convenient artwork-making tool. Making a painting isn’t more “legitimate” than making a photograph.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Our purpose is to make great photographs; great picture art works. Photographs that will last the ruthless jaws of time.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Never stop shooting, and pursuing a small perfection<\/a> in your photography!<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    SHOOT ON.
