This past Friday I received an email from Pixelated Image blog that is written by David DuChemin. David has written another ebook called "The Vision Driven Photographer". I immediately downloaded the book so I could read it later that night. As I made my way through the short book, several concepts kind of solidified in my mind and helped me view how I take photographs. One of the main themes is that we all have vision whether we know it or not. Vision is a factor of who we are and what we believe or hold valuable. Our photographic vision comes out of our personal vision; they are tied together. Intent is important - without intent David says we are left with "accidental photography". An appropriate term for far too many of my photographs. the book goes on to say that vision is important because it helps our images express what we want to say.
If you are serious about your photography, I can highly recommend Davids ebook and the books that Craft and Vision have published on photography.
