Meditations on the Art of Photography: The Beginnings of Great Images (Meditations on...)

Billions of dollars are spent each year as people dream of becoming great photographers. Few, but the manufacturers, profit from these investments. In this long essay (3800 words), teacher, photographer and sometimes philosopher, L. W. Reed, takes a long look at what it really takes to be a great photographer and why it matters. His decades of experience, as well as his heart for teaching, reveal a passion for helping people move out of the rut most beginners fail to avoid. Listen to his heart as he paints a word picture of what is really required to advance your skills and why the world is eagerly waiting for you to get started.
