Nonsense. There are an infinite number of different kinds of photographers. "Technician" and "Artist" are the extreme ends of the long line on which this infinite number of types occupies various intermediate positions. Some close to one end or the other and some in the middle. >The technician needs to be taught composition. The artist >needs only to be taught how to handle a camera and film. Neither one *needs* to be taught anything, but everyone can learn and benefit from teaching if they approach it with an open mind. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
