It’s so easy it's ridiculous. It’s so easy that I can’t even begin – I just don’t know where to start. After all, it’s just looking at things. We all do that. It’s simply a way of recording what you see – point the camera at it, and press a button. How hard is that? And what's more, in this digital age, its free - doesn't even cost you the price of film. It’s so simple and basic, it's ridiculous. ~ excerpt from text written by Paul Graham for the Yale MFA photography graduation book
The preceding excerpt is from Photography is Easy, Photography is Difficult by Paul Graham. The entire piece can be read here on AmericanSuburbX.com - a photo resource well worth exploring. My bet is that one could explore it for quite some time.

Mark, not only is that article simple and to the point, but the whole issue is going to have me tied up for awhile, powerful images and writings.
Thanks for sharing it.
