Beyond technical excellence doesn't the value of an image really depend on
the
individual. For instance I'm rarely moved by "street" genre images and
I've
never considered pasting my walls with such however I can really enjoy a
well
captured scape free of "story" but geology, weathering and flora.
More years ago than I care to admit, I did a gallery hanging with another
photographer.
The show was in a cafeteria in a well trafficed office building.
I put up a bunch of my pretty B&W landscapes, the other guy put up his
socially relevant pictures.
I remember a picture titled "Fluffy", which was a dessicated cat corpse in
the middle of an abandoned farmhouse living too. We figure the poor fellow
had frozen to death.
We put this picture over the condiment area, but they made us move it after
a couple of days......
No sense of humour.
Where was I?
I don't know.
