I'm not sure photography is any better than any other expressive medium, but it's at least equal to any other artistic pursuit. Show your appreciation for our free weekly Podcas…

HT2273 - Why You Made the Photograph Every image you finish was completed because of some purpose you had in mind. You have chosen to share something you feel is important enough to photograph and work into a finished project or framed image. Why? Doesn't it make sense that somehow that intent needs to be shared with viewers? We are all so bombarde…
