With the advent of digital photography, two types of photographers have emerged.  One who sees digital photography as a new form of communication - the communicator; this person simply takes photos and shares them quickly to friends and family through social networking sites such as Facebook and Flickr.  This person's relationship with photography pretty much ends at the shutter button and wants the camera to deliver decent photos with minimal effort. 

The second is someone who is serious with the craft of photography - the artist; this person is looking to create the best photographs possible, either for passion or money.

Digital photography isn't the only change; mobile digital photography has made a huge difference.  These days a person almost always has a camera available at a moment's notice.  Also, most recent camera phones can do video.  So where does a mobile phone camera fit in photography?

Dog photos, cat photos…rooster photos…it’s all the same to me. Maybe it’s my allergies when I get around animals…but I tend NOT to gravitate to general animal photos.  Pet’s doing tricks, running around out of control, or licking the shoe wax off my loafers is not the way to make photo points with me.

As you look through photographs, whether they are your own family photographs, a friend’s collection, or even magazine images, you intuitively flip through them at a certain pace. Every so often you might come across one that stops you, slows you down, and invites you to explore or engage more deeply. It might make you smile, think for a minute, or take you back to a place in time. What a wonderful exercise this is to encourage your own observation skills and to see what pulls you in. The chances are very good that the photograph that stops you or slows you down contains something profound or alluring in the expression, mood, and emotion.
 

Our New Look

New Wap Site

 

If you have visited WeArePhotographers.com over the past few days, you have seen that we've got a brand new look.   We’re so happy to introduce Phase Two of the site that incorporates a lot of the feedback from our users over the past 7 1/2 months.  Also, underneath the covers we’ve moved the site to higher performance hardware, mitigating a few issues that occurred during unexpectedly high web traffic we received.   Thanks for giving us that problem to deal with!
