sahara,
I think each day, each moment, no matter how ordinary it is, it is still special...how good if we can keep all special moments in our heart, like keeping time in a bottle!!
I think photography, like art, of course we need to learn techniques, but I think the most important thing is still our feelings and how we express ourselves, look at famous artists through history, not only they have good techniques, they also have good style...and there are many with a lot of technical know how and cannot not create any great art that can live on for centuries...!
