Actually capturing the right moment is more difficult than just pushing the 
button.  The art is in the timing, the right lighting, the framing, which is all
unique to the person taking the picture.  No two people will take the same image
even with conditions as close to the same as possible.  I have images I have 
created with all types of cameras from pinhole to 35mm and I actually tried to 
duplicate one technique to no avail.  The moment just wasn't there.

Many photographers print their own work too or supervise the printing thereby 
creating pieces uniquely their own.
