As I have begun to receive an increasing amount of exposure on dA, it seems that more and more fellow deviants have been asking me for advice. I would like to say that I am most honored that some of you respect my opinion well enough to ask me for my thoughts! In lieu of this trend, I decided it was time to write an article expressing what I have learned about photography. Mind you, I cannot claim to be any real authority on photography, but I have been around long enough to form my own thoughts and ideas on what makes a good photographer - I would like to share my musings with everyone in hopes that you, my fellow deviants, may learn something both helpful and useful!
