Sure, Insert Name Here! But what IS important? (c)

All your life you're dealing with "musts" and "shoulds".
First,arents, teachers, tutors, your friends... even your dog or cat tells you what to do.
"Clean your shoes"
"Do your homework"
"Feed me"
Then colleagues or your boss...sometimes, you think you're just their loyal servant.
...And then, when you listen to yourself, comes the true freedom.
"If i don't want to do it, i won't"
Oh, happy days.
----------------------
Photography is a art of "life-stuck-in-a-frame".
If your photo tells a story, even if there are just, I don't know, boxes, then you're an artist, even if you don't have the best camera or a certificate in photography.
That's what i think.

I am an artist?

An artist is anyone who makes art, I think. The intention to make art is even more important than the art itself. And yes, you are an artist. Why else would you be on dA?

Mmm, okay..let's rephrase...what makes a good artist?

Practice, dedication and a refusal to quit.

Well if that's normal, then you are going to be a great artist, not just a good one.

I never

anything I don't think is excellent. And some of your pictures literally take my breath away. And this one is a masterpiece: [link]

And these are all brilliant:

To name a few. Your use of line is masterful, your composition can be mindblowing (as in the one I called a masterpiece and the one called Stripes). You are very gifted. As for photography clarity of image and good composition are the basics for a great photo.

And Lina-Tsu (my friend,btw) as Catherine The Great is amazingly beautiful too.

Thank you for "gifted" too. Still I think I have a way to go. My sensei (i don't know, tutor maybe) is so great i can't breath near her and her works inspire me to work harder.
She can be found here:
