Photography is more than just taking pictures by depressing the shutter release button on your camera. Photography is about creating pictures; having a vision, an idea, an expression. Like any other art form there are necessary skills that one must apply to produce a great work of art, photography included. You need not only educate yourself on the fundamentals of photography by learning how to control the camera and the lens but professional critiques, which provide feedback, on your work are a necessary part of your photography development. Along with these skills you must have a vision and a creative "eye" never hurts. We all have ideas we can turn into pictures, I like to think our photographs serve as a metaphor for holding our ideas in our hands. Being able to take this idea and make it tangible requires the photography skills necessary to make a picture.
