No two Photographers

 What is often overlooked is the importance of imagination over technique. "Give me inspiration over information" a statement often heard from Cartier- Bresson.
There is no such thing as the prefect image, as no two photographers have the same idea to what constituents or defines a perfect image. Once you come to the understanding that we all perceive the perfect image differently you can come to the understanding that the viewer who you must impress the most and first, is the one viewer who truly matters YOU. The tools and techniques that  help your voice/story heard are your choice, however consider this, creative voice always trumps technique but without technique you may never get your creative voice heard.
Taken by the gesture of the moment is the goal, so let that moment cause you to press the shutter.
" I would say to an artist; "do not be repressed in your work, dare to experiment, consider any urge, if in a new direction all the better" Edward Weston.
