Great photography is simple.
It is merely to discover, collect, arrange, create, anticipate or provoke exquisite subject matter;
and then to choose, invent, or patiently wait for
the perfect balance between light, shadow and time,
utilizing the proper electronic and mechanical equipment,
which will capture the moment forever, just as it is right now,
in a visually meaningful and aesthetically interesting way.

That moment in time will only be remembered through this one photo.
It takes only a camera.
It is almost as simple as writing, which needs only pen and paper;
as sculpting, which requires only chisel and mallet;
or as orchestra conducting, which demands only a thin stick and an evening coat.
