These emails come with the intent of helping you be a better photographer. But if you're tired of hearing from me, unsubscribe.

And if you want more photography stuff to read, there's a place on the interwebs where past emails I wrote are stored. You'll find 'em in the "Newsletter Hub."

Remember, I'd like to know what you want to know about photography. So, if you have any questions, email me at sam@samdamico.com. And for what it's worth. When you send me an email, unless someone's lookin' over my shoulder, I'm the only one that sees it.

Hello, .

If you've ever asked yourself that question, let me tell you what I think.

Photography ain't difficult.

Photography is relatively easy.

Photography is a straightforward process.

We see something that makes us want to take a photograph.

We take out our camera.

We compose and make a picture. 

And if we're unsure of ourselves, we probably make more pictures of the same thing.

But how could such a simple thing seem so difficult?
 

It may seem that photography is difficult, but something else is causing us difficulties.

It's not photography; it's the camera.

If we used a point-and-shoot camera, photography would be much easier.

But a more complex camera will help us become better photographers.

But it doesn't.

Not because it can't.

It doesn't because we don't know how to work the camera, so we keep using it like a point-and-shoot.

Or we can begin using the camera's more complex features, but we need to do so more effectively.

If we learn to work with the camera with understanding and intent, we can make better pictures because we've become better photographers.

We become better photographers because we understand the cause and effect of camera operation and light on our compositions and can see how simple photography is.
