You know, just yesterday, after reading Cranky but back, Patty asked about writing a post someday...

You're going to get me in a lot trouble here, Lin.

Wonderful post, Lin!
And yes, I think you are absolutely spot on about the eye. Unfortunately photographers often aren't taken seriously as artists - after all - all you do is press that button, right?, but having spent a lot of time with some exceptional photographers, it's quite obvious to me that creating beautiful images is just as much an art as creating a beautiful painting. Just with a different toolset.
I love spending time with photographers who have a true vision, paired with strong technical ability to make that image happen. And that doesn't end at the momen of the shutter release, it's the complete process, cradle to grave. I love it and I don't think I'll ever get enough of it.

great post..

for me.. the eye.. is 2 things..

first, seeing what others do not. Noticing the beauty, or whatever emoton a site moves me too.

then having the ability to capture that, with tools, or inherited ability, in such a way that it conveys the emotion that I had upon originally seeing it.

I often say "do that again". .when working with someone.. and.. I've heard other variations of the same thing.. my favorite (and one I've borrowed) "no, just keep doing what you're doing".
