Not alot of artists these days are as hands on as they used to be. They think they can get by directing others to bring about their 'vision' and forget that the people actually doing the work have been doing it for years before the artist came along. When I was in art school for Photography....I know I know.....I was older, I went places to get photo's, hiked back in the woods or drove out of my way to get something unique. The rest of my 'classmates' sat around in the dorms and regurgitated the same old images over and over, and didnt understand why the teachers were more interested in what I was doing than what they were. One of the teachers asked to use one of my pieces to show his Wildlife Photography Classes HOW they should be shooting, not from 200 yards away at a speck but up close so you can see the feathers and fur.
