I have been doing photography practically all my life. I've studied about exposure, film developing and printing. I've worked with all sorts of photographic equipment from 8x10 view cameras to 35mm point-and-shoot automatic ones
Jackie Campbell was a prolific writer. She began her career with the Providence Journal in Rhode Island. When she and her husband moved the family to Denver because of his work in the oil shale business, she began looking to connect with other people who could possibly work with her doing feature writing. She found me!
Note: At the risk of sounding too “scientific” I thought this little lesson might help the average photographer understand more about how the camera actually works.
I'm simply amazed by the number of images I see taken by mobile phones and automatic cameras of one sort or another! But what's missing from many of these images is the thought and consideration necessary to produce truly great photographs.
Just happened to be scrolling through my Facebook feed and came across a suggested post, which is sort of an advertisement for the "iPhone School Of Photography." What was interesting was the fellow in the video was not trying to sell the school, but was actually giving real, usable information for free. I checked this all out and it all worked perfectly. (I always check out EVERYTHING I read on any social media because it is wholly unedited and therefore needs to be vetted carefully for factual information because there is a great deal of dis-information out there).

I was thinking the other day about the art of photography. What makes it an art form? Is it just the photographer's vision captured, or does it encompass the whole gamut of the capture process, post-production, retouching, cropping and subsequent output?
