Here's a photograph of me holding my copy of 'Eye, Mind, Spirit', featuring the work of Minor White. A double exposure photograph he made in the early 1950s.
Anyway, how do you learn to photograph? Well, how do you learn to play jazz? Everyone I've ever spoken to or taken lessons from, says essentially the same thing.
First, listen to the great players, a lot. Second, imitate (transcribe). Third, practice (a lot). Fourth, trust in the process. Sure, if you just play a bunch of notes from the altered scale over a dominant chord, that might sound gimmicky. The key is to internalize ideas, and then let them express themselves organically in your playing. Over time, you'll start to notice that you're swinging your ass off.
Tasting notes: Olympus E-330, 25 mm f/2.8 lens.
