"Point and shoot photography is all about grabbing the shot (of something)"
'Oh, what a lovely tree... where‟s my camera?...click....let‟s go'
In other words, he is talking about the snap shot.
He continues with, "Fine art photography is all about doing everything possible (before / during / after a shot) to communicate feelings to someone else"
'I‟m so happy here...what beautiful light...how calm everything is...
it‟s as though nothing else exists...a gentle breeze...serenity...'My view:

“One should not only

but for what
else they are.”
