Photography literally means "to write with light." "Photo" means "light" and "graphy" means "write." This is, of course, technically what transpires as you open and close your shutter, sucking light into or out of every corner of your image. And the first thing you must learn as a photographer is to pay attention to light, so much so that your eye becomes an internal camera constantly metering and focusing on the world around you. I've always been hypnotized by exactly that...how many different kinds of light there are (and believe me there are more than I'm sure you realize) and how these different kinds of light can transform the same object.
