Amazing how the atmosphere in a place can change so much depending on the time of year. But then, reality is all about the lighting [c/o Interconnected]. See also: The Slow-Photography Movement — What is the point of taking pictures? Interesting ·

A poor photographer blames his tools
Too right. Even the crappiest cameras can take great pictures; it’s the user’s eye that counts. Arts & Culture ·
