To be interested solely in technique would be a very superficial thing to me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't get wrapped up in technique and the like.
Sometimes technique works better than a whole lot of other things.
Technique is noticed most markedly in the case of those who have not mastered it.
I do a lot of things for effect, which is not to say I am superficial, but that I know how to put ideas across.
You can practice to learn a technique, but I'm more interested in conceiving of something in the moment.
I enjoy finding a low subject and bringing it up high. I think with strong technique, you can glamorize certain things. You can make the imagery sharper, rounder, and basically better looking.
Technique is what you fall back on when you run out of inspiration.
My techniques are basics, but my willingness to be in the pocket and see things is very high level.
Of course, there will always be those who look only at technique, who ask 'how', while others of a more curious nature will ask 'why'. Personally, I have always preferred inspiration to information.
Technique is everything and we play a contact sport.
