digital or purist : what makes you good?

Well, of course “good” is a matter of opinion. But you’ll find out that I certainly have opinions!Not just anybody can be a professional, despite the quality of cameras and computers out there. It takes more than a tool, but also the mind and experience to use it.Just like you need more than a computer and software to be a graphic designer. Can you believe help wanted ads where they want an applicant to do front reception, accounting and design? Those generalists. Specializing is the only way to be really good. Oops, back to photography.You learn by doing and with proper education. I like that I started with film and in the darkroom. Learning composition, lighting, all the true aspects of photography. Only now have I appreciated my ability to transfer that to the digital world. I wish others would get it! Just get it already!
