I don’t think there’s any such thing
~ Imogen Cunningham
as teaching people photography,
other than influencing them a little.
People have to be their own learners.
They have to have a certain talent.

Porte Musings:
As with any art, you can teach someone the mechanics of photography and influence how they take photos. It is the individual who has to have the discipline to practice; vision to see; and sometimes just plain good luck to be at the right place at the right time to be a good photographer. I planted some zinnias in hops of attracting butterflies. Before the zinnias even bloomed, caterpillars chewed on the leaves and butterflies were trying to coax them open.
Holy Week continues with Holy Tuesday, as Muslims are now celebrating the 11th Day of Ramadan, Christians are celebrating the 42nd Day of Lent, and Jews are waiting for Passover Celebration.
Today is dedicated as International Day of Human Space Flight. We look to the moon and stars and look for a way to get there.
Eat a grilled cheese for lunch today to celebrate National Grilled Cheese Day.
April 12th is also my Paternal Grandmother’s Birthday. I hope she is enjoying it in heaven.
