he s read tutorial that are all over the internet and in books on how to take good looking pictures, explained step by step. Has nothing to do with having a good eye. Throw in some quality camera and it's easy to do. Requires absolutely no skill whatsoever, sorry to be honnest.
Since when taking close up pics of random objects is art? the camera does make it sound great, not the photographer. Most of the pics you ve posted are so cliche and uninspired, nothing we ve alrdy seen like 10 billions times. Photography is the easiest "hobby" of them all.
