Hi Chris,

There must be more than one way, no matter what subject you take, especially about art.  Having no professional photography background, I keep experimenting with the raw because I don't think any of my photos is perfect. And I feel excited at that! Moreover, there's no end to perfection, so it's a never ending process, especially about non-commercial projects, where you have to compromise. 

I hope I made it clear

Hugs
