Boris' recent PESO (or was it a PAW?) featured at least two questions along the lines of the above subject line.
Which got me to thinking: What difference does it make? I very often take photos which, ~at the time I take them~, I have no idea "what I'm trying to say". I just take them, look at them later, and if I like them, I print them. Is that wrong? Why does no one ask that question when they see a gorgeous photo of an equally gorgeous sunset? What does a sunset have to "say" (except perhaps, "isn't this beautiful")? I'm not being critical of Boris' two questioners, or in any way implying that they ought not to have asked the questions, I just don't understand why I see it asked so often with regard to some photographs. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
