a: Photography ~
b: painting

What: "We call it a picture, a photo, a shot...... I prefer to call it an Image or a Vision... A photograph is a Vision. It is how I see the subject, not necessarily how the subject really is... For me, a photograph is like a painting, you see it, you analyze it, you interpret it... you like it or you hate it... Photography is like Architecture, partly Artistic and partly Technical. The question is: is it more Artistic or more Technical ? ...My answer to that question will show in my images... "
