A good photograph is knowing where to stand.
We make images to "honor what is greater and more interesting than we are."
I can look at a fine art photograph and sometimes I can hear music.
I've always thought photography was an art form, but it had very low appreciation in the beginning, except for some Europeans, and of course Stieglitz. Stieglitz always considered photography to be an art form and is the "father" of the creative concepts of the twentieth century.
The negative is the score, and the print the performance.
I have often had a retrospective vision where everything in my past life seems to fall with significance into logical sequence.
