The Beauty in Craftsmanship
You know how the beauty of a well-made car makes you smile. When you see those lines and curves so smooth, reflecting the light so beautifully it just makes you feel good inside. The way that chrome shines in the sunlight is so satisfying. When it’s well-made, it brings along a happy feeling.
I really appreciate quality craftsmanship. Besides seeing it in cars, I find it in many things. In this case it’s an old used saddle. Can’t you just see it in the smoothness of the leather and the stitching? This saddle is a beautiful deep rich mahogany color. Soft and supple but still very sturdy and strong. Being an older saddle that continues to possesses such beauty could only be attributed to the quality of its construction.
I love it when someone takes pride in their work. That pride always seems to show through in the finished product. It’s the same to me with photography. When you take pride in your photography you won’t just throw any ole picture out there and call it “good enough.” Instead, when you take pride in your photography, you will only release the best pictures and you will feel good about your work. You will continually strive to improve and grow. Once photography becomes your craft you will strive for beauty in your craftsmanship.
