The digital era has introduced the 'image', as opposed to the purely photographic. With the plethora of image editing tools and the additional creative input and licence this allows, credit and enormous merit can be given to the hacker with a pinhole camera and a laptop, whilst honouring and respecting the traditionalist going by the rules. I enjoy the freedom of both. I have enormous respect for the masters. Let the image speak for itself.
The creative act lasts but a brief moment, a
lightning instant of give-and-take, just long enough for you to level
the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box.
