Spenser Fleming--Photography

I have struggled to shoot what I see with my eyes my entire life. It was not until I took this class that I came to a realization, when I look at the scene my own influence is put into the scene, thus no matter how expensive the camera or good the user it will never compare. Yes, there are some amazing photographs out there, but they are just as paintings, a painting will never match its intended capture. Through this realization I did not stop taking pictures, rather stopped getting frustrated with "poor" photos and now the photos are just reminders of what I really saw that day. True beauty is impossible to capture.
