What Makes a Photographer, PBS

Ken Van Sickle is 83 years old and has been a photographer for six decades.  His take is that technology does not make a photographer.  To put it in his words:

What a great photographer does is, they are consistently able to make something in a style that’s personal to themselves. My pictures don’t depend on extreme sharpness. They depend on the composition and on the subject and on the way I see it.
