Thank you Marko for taking a look and comments.
As for the quote in my signature this is my thoughts. “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..” The opening line in the novel ‘A Tale of Two Cities’ is not about the words best, times or worst. The thought, feeling and emotion that Mr. Dickens had is what the writing was about when he used words to write it. The notes B-flat, F and G-minor (or whatever notes would be used) is not what Beethoven’s ‘Moonlight Sonata’ is about. It’s about the thought, feeling and emotion he had in mind to put the notes together to produce the masterpiece. Pixels, DOF, ISO, noise, lighting and so forth are not what a photograph is about. It’s the thought, feeling and emotion that use those things to produce the artwork. Maybe Mr. Jensen was trying to point out that If we tend to be too concerned with what we use to take a photograph with to make it technically correct then the art of photography will be limited. I don’t know exactly what his thoughts were but that’s what I perceived them to be.
I think you answered your question by using “what you choose”. What one chooses to create a work of art of any kind comes from one thoughts, feelings or emotions on how to use the tools to create it. Not the tools themselves.
Of course I always leave the option open that I’m completely wrong and don’t know what I’m talking about. Which many probably agree.
