Gaming Name : Pro Kabsa (From the Good ol days of Gaming)

 

Photography Gear : D7000 with a bunch of lens

 

Experience in Photography : Self learning since Nov 2010.

 

Academics / Profession : I studied a bit too much for my own damn good.

 

Photography is not about the camera and gear, it has always, and will always be about the Photographer. That is what I have learned in general in 2 years. Always had a fascination with photography. With the passage of time I realized my inclination towards night and landscape photography as can been seen from my stream.

 

Its a beautiful thing for me, that my contacts and I dont really talk. But when we do it is just about photography, not bounded by any demographics, language, border, color and race. For me that is the best thing about Photography.

'To the complaint, 'There are no people in these photographs,' I respond, 'There are always two people: the photographer and the viewer.'

Ansel Adams (1902 - 1984)

 

I have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the term -- meaning that the creation of a simple photograph would entail as much time and effort as the production of a good watercolor or etching -- there would be a vast improvement in total output. The sheer ease with which we can produce a superficial image often leads to creative disaster.

A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know. -Diane Arbus

 

Best wide-angle lens? Two steps backward. Look for the 'ah-ha'. -Ernst Haas, Comment in workshop, 1985

Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again. -Henri Cartier Bresson

 

Maybe because it's entirely an artist's eye, patience and skill that makes an image and not his tools. -Ken Rockwell, Your Camera Does Not Matter, 2005

 

No matter how advanced your camera you still need to be responsible for getting it to the right place at the right time and pointing it in the right direction to get the photo you want. - Ken Rockwell, Your Camera Does Not Matter, 2005

 

The camera's only job is to get out of the way of making photographs. - Ken Rockwell, Your Camera Does Not Matter, 2005
