Camera Quote by Barbara Steinhoff Schneider
““Just like a painter’s brush or a sculptor’s chisel, you camera is a tool to create artwork. The camera does not take the photo, the user takes the photo. The camera is not in control, the user is in control. Your camera is a tool and anyone who wants to take a great photo needs to learn how to use it.””
