I think that the process of "selection" or "discovery" and "creation" are actually the same thing. The most thrilling about nature is that it is always moving, changing, adapting, so the chances of New selections, discoverys, shots, is always increasing. Like the fable of Achilles and the Turtle. Nature is slower, but we'll never catch it. I do agree that it is of no importance if an image or product has been made or taken out of nature.
