A photographer's haven for the lastest in digital or traditional film cameras.

RE: Camera

My theory is that drawing and painting use a different process of creation than photography. Drawing and painting are synthetical and use composition as its basis where you build up an image bit by bit ( move the line over, widen the shape, bring the tree closer to the front).

Photography is analytical, we can't "compose the photo" its out there in front of us. If we want to move a tree out of the frame then everything else moves in relations. Photography is reductive, we look at the whole and reduce it to its essential meaning by using the frame.

Its said that painters start with the center of the canvas and photographers start with the edge of the frame.

This is why i think 2D design class do advance photographic vision.

imho :)
