Someone once said:
"People hear what they see"

Maybe it's because a picture is a vehicle
that carries a thought, or a message,
from the mind of the creator of the image
to the minds of those who see it.

There are five stages in creating a photograph:
1. IDEA;
2. EXPOSURE;
3. SOURCE TREATMENT:
developing the negative, or configuring
the digital file;
4. PRINTING/PUBLISHING the image;
5. PRESENTATION.

A photograph begins before we lift the camera to our eye, and the process of creation lasts well after we have clicked
the shutter of the camera.
