Two-Dimensional Art

Todd Smith, who I just discovered on Twitter, is a good photographer who is doing some thinking on the side. This blog post of his deals with "flattening of the layers", as Photoshops would put it. The problem we have as photographers when we make two dimensional object from a three dimensional reality.

My favourite line: "Good photography distills the essence of the world and makes it fit inside a picture frame." That is a very good summary of what we all do as photographers. Also, Todd refrains from any talk about you needing any special technology for this. You do not need any special type of pen to write a good book, do you?
