HT2454 - Decisions vs Execution

Art making is the fusion of decisions and execution. It's not at all uncommon for photographers to explain that they became a photographer because they can't draw decent stick figures. That is to say, execution prevents them from being a successful pen-and-ink artist, or painter, or musician. Unlike in photography, with these media, there is a barrier that cannot be crossed with luck. With photography, however, we can both be lucky and master the execution of the craft with relative ease, especially here in the digital age. This seems to imply that the decisions we make in the process are even more weighty than in other media.
