About ROBERT

Grew up with a Nikon F-1. Reluctantly got propelled by my brother from SRL to D-SLR ... and had a succession of Nikon & Fuji-in-Nikon-body cameras. Now quite pleased with the D750. Remarkable camera.

Point tho' is ... don't blame (or trust0 the promise of a fantastic camera. 97% of photographic attractiveness ... is the photographer's skill (and frankly some amount of luck too... lighting ... clouds ... composition ... subject cooperativeness ... lucky-catch shooting).

Anyway... it is what it is.
Photography is an Art.
An Art that requires Science to 'get right'.

Ansel Adams, Henri Cartier Bresson, Robert Mapplethorpe, Andre Kurtesz, Mario Testeo, Steve Curry, Robert Doisneau, David LaChapelle, Man Ray, Edward Western, WeeGee, Paul Strand, Imogen Cunningham, Eliot Porter, Robert Frank, Cindy Sherman ... ALL had the Science, and the artistic Eye.

Good photography is a slog... thru the weeds... with at LEAST as much time post-shoot as leading up to, during, and breaking down. Few people understand that part.

Just Saying,
