Over the years my views on photography have changed and with them my approach to art.
Working as commercial artist meant and means in most cases copying reality from a photo, seems people appreciate ones artwork if it looks like a photo and if the subject is beautiful. In the past I couldn't see anything wrong in the practice I guess because that was acceptable in art school too, since their aim was to prepare us for the future and to a certain disregard for violations.
But I believe, back then I lacked the incentive to capture and a motivation to observe reality to awake the reality within, things I should have been guided towards. I was thought how to observe reality though academia rules of the past and I feel now I was stole of my time by mediocrity.
It was not all bad, but it was all out-of-the-box knowledge.
