| Article Title :: Abstract Photography - Has photography come of age |
| |
| “Never have I found the limits of the photographic potential. Every horizon, upon being reached, reveals another beckoning in the distance. Always, I am on the threshold.” -W. Eugene Smith
The invention of the camera liberated painting from its reportage role. Gone was the need to produce a likeness, detail the events of the story, painting was free to express emotions.

| Article Title :: Get the perfect exposureÂ…Part 2 |
| |
