Turning green

Journal Entry: Thu Jan 31, 2008, 11:07 AM
So, I'm a little bit jealous of photographers. I have some limited skill (more like bare-bones proficiency) with a camera; it's just not my chosen medium, for various reasons. The thing that I feel photographers have over those who draw, paint, or use other media that involve direct creation rather than capture, is the capacity for massive proliferation. A couple of the photograohers I'm watching, who do awesome work, btw, are absolutely DOMINATING my deviation list, in terms of how many posts they make. The two of them are about 90% what comes up on my deviantWATCH. It's almost enough to make me stop watching them, because I don't like sorting through all that to get to the people who draw, etc., but their photography is just so GOOD! Anyway, I just wish I could draw as many awesome images as these two guys cap. Here are their pages:

But with comparable amount of time and preparations, the photographer can take many GOOD pictures, while the artist ( both traditional or digital ) will accomplish one work.
Comparing photography and traditional/digital art ( not speaking of photomanipulations ) doesn't make sense - I think that thay are too different. Our work needs TIME ;)

That's exactly my point. I'm not really comparing the two, just lamenting my envy at the time it takes to produce the work. I guess that's a theme in my journal entries.

Anyway - it's a common knowledge that the time of work and the effort put in the picture are different in both cases. That's why the people tend to say "good eye" or "had lots of luck to capture such moment!", while commenting on painters - "excellent skills" or "marvellous job!" :fuzzydemon:

Don't be jelous - get inspiration from photographers as well.
They are artists and can teach you something - even if tghey use different medium :glomp:
