With art of any sort, the technical aspects are all secondary to the aesthetic ones. By which I mean: any monkey can learn to paint, photograph, draw. But to do it well? Certainly there are physical limitations and restrictions, but by and large in the arts, the technical skills and knowledge can be acquired by any able-minded person.

To apply the technique well requires a certain inborn talent and exposure to the work of others.

In this vein, I’m starting to cross over and explore other design styles.  Sometimes this means stepping outside of the realm of photography.
