I consider myself an artist, before photographer.. Although I consider photography to be a legitimate medium of artistic expression -I set it on a slightly skewed (no higher, or lower) pedestal than most vessels; due to it's nature of capturing the moment - rather than recreating the moment. In it's absolute definition; you're writing/sketching/capturing with the elements of light presented to you at the exact moment of inspiration.
