I know 
I meant a different kind of talent. Not everyone has the talent of just taking pictures of people they don't know at all. I am always struggling with that, for example. I would love to take pictures for the National Geographic (I guess that's the dream of a whole bunch of photographers
), but you might actually have the .. well, the right talent for that. What you do is capturing the moment, not composing them, that's worth a lot. It makes your pictures a lot more interesting.. and real. The only picture in my gallery I could say that of is Blue World

I can understand why you dislike the word talent. Somehow it means, that it's not you making good pictures, but your talent, right?
But that's not exactly what I meant, using this word. Of course I agree with you on that you need love and passion for photography, otherwise you'll never be good at it. Talent in my opinion doesn't mean, you're just good at something, without any reason. It's always about how much energy you can and want to put into learning something. I guess anyone could be good at anything, if they'd only dedicate enough time and energy to it. But you won't be able to develop any passion or love for something, if your always failing even though you know all the tricks and techniques; it's just no fun
What I call talent is a certain base, a natural ability of doing something, it's not a big thing, it just makes you enjoy what you're doing and at the same time allows you to make bigger steps learning it than you'd do learning something you're "not talented" in.
But in the end it really doesn't matter where your love for photography comes from, right?

sorry i cant agree with you.... i know too many "well known" photographers in slovenia. one of them has already had photos in national geographic....
well all the great photographers that i know...from books and personaly.... i know that they have put a lot a lot of work into their photography. but what you need is love and passion to it...
there are so many books about street photography and people... there are so many tehniques and ways to get such shots... there is no talent.
so i would not say that i have a different talent...but i would say that i love very very much taking photos.... i am enjoying....and because of that i put a lot of eneergy into learning and so on...
