Do you think you only see 90 minutes of the director's brain processes
when you watch a movie?

It takes much more effort than just clicking the shutter to make a good
picture. You see a lifetime of the photographer's experience in each
shot. You just need to look at the photo.

Almost all of my pictures are built in my head way before I ever take
them.

Having said that, I think Kyle's words and pictures are excellent -
that's his art. But I don't think you're being ripped off if no words
are supplied.
