We all instantly recognize good photographs when we see them. Then why is it so hard to create them with our cameras?You’ve heard of the photographer's eye. It’s the thing that lets some people make amazing photographs from scenes where others see nothing. And as much as technology can dress up mundane pictures, it’s creative vision that’s ultimately at the core of making images with impact. The question is whether this is a special talent you have to be born with or is it something you can acquire? Come find out the answer in Ken Lee’s presentation, Seeing 101.
