Once digital came, I could see my images instantly right there on the camera. I think that makes you a better photographer because you can see right there if your subject's eyes are closed or if you exposed it wrong and if it's too bright or dark. You can fix it right here. With film, you wouldn't know until you got the prints back if something was messed up, and then there was nothing you could do. That was a huge advantage.
Scott Kelby

The precise instant of creation is when you choose the subject. Meaning that the essential thing occurs at the moment when he, the photographer, meets the reality he wishes to capture.
