Now I don't know if I should be happy/proud or irritated - hahaha - nah, no question - I appreciate your words, novacadian. Because I know that a camera takes a photo but a photographer makes it my paraphrasing of these two quotes by famous photographers.
“You don’t take a photograph, you make it.”
— Ansel Adams
“It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head.”
— Henri Cartier-Bresson
