Photography as art and the path to creativity

There's a fundamental fork in the road with your journey as a photographer. Are you trying to document the world as it is, or trying to create a beautiful rendition that expresses how you see it? There is no such thing as a neutral hand with the camera – You are influencing the images you capture at every step. And that means you have a choice to make.
