I want others to see what I saw when I took the photo. The unseen, the creative image that is not so visible unless you look beyond the visible.

  Photography is an art. I figure that art is about 90% talent, the rest being hard work and perseverance. At some point you have to figure out your talent quotient. You may come to the conclusion that you will never be another Ansel Adams, but you could find that you fall somewhere in the middle. If this middle ground suits you, continue on. There are very few geniuses.
