Yun-Yun: Is Bagatellography a kind of amateur photography?
Zoltan: First, who are the amateur photographers? Their style grows with time. The photos reflect who they are. They know composition well: leading lines and framing. They can use the camera manually. They can manipulate settings to get the effect they want. They handle editing and know color correction, cropping, and retouching. They have their gear and understand its strengths and weaknesses. They feel something for their photographs. That is why they take them. Bagatellography lacks that commitment to its subject.
