“To be a photographer, one must photograph. No amount of book learning, no checklist of seminars attended, can substitute for the simple act of making pictures. Experience is the best teacher of all. And for that, there are no guarantees that one will become an artist. Only the journey matters.” – Harry Callihan

Dirty Harry?

Is that a quote from one of Clint Eastwoods movies? Or is that a different Harry Callihan? lol
It is true though, a writer writes and a photographer shoots, and with digital cameras and the lack of film there is no reason not to shoot until the finger hurts. : )
peace

I think it must be another Harry Callihan. (It looks like his last name should have been spelled Callahan instead.) I found this quote on a page that had other compiled wisdom about photography. :P

You are right!

I was attempting a little humor, apparently it was very little. haha.
I loved the Dirty Harry movies and thought I could have a bit of fun with your quote.
I do agree with your quote or rather, Harry Callihan’s quote that to be really good at Photography you have to take a few shots out there.. One of the really exciting developments recently has been the invention of the digital camera and cheap digital storage. Once you buy the camera of your dreams you never have to buy film so you can shoot til the cows come home and keep em all or delete what you don’t like.. Then don’t get me started on digital manipulation and all the tons of software available to enhance, doctor, or just create with your pictures.
Thanks for the motivational quote and sorry for the stab at some humor.
peace

No, I knew you were kidding. : ) It’s much easier to convey that through inflection rather than through the written word sometimes. I often wonder if people know that I’m making a joke too.

I’ve actually never seen any of the Dirty Harry movies that I can remember. lol. I should see if any of them are on Netflix. :P

How sad for you : (

Alaythia has never seen a Dirty Harry movie. Well, you are in for a treat!

I’m glad we are on the same page. I do like this goal (share quotes) a well timed quote can motivate a person to action or be deeply moving.

Have a nice day.
