A Vocation
Wednesday, 22 September 2010
"A vocation, from the Latin vocare (verb, to call), is a term for an occupation to which a person is specially drawn or for which they are suited, trained or qualified." - Wikipedia
Ever since reading VisionMongers: Making a Life and a Living in Photography (Voices That Matter)
by David duChemin, who talks a lot about the blurring lines between amateur and professional and encourages everyone to think of photography as a vocation, I keep coming across talented photographers who obviously take this view. My latest find is David Jackson (see his blog) who does some lovely stylish work. He spends as much time on perfecting the creative workflow as he does on the more technical aspects. This can be seen in this video as he explains his thought process.
