My point is that meaning is always personal, changeable and subjective. There is no 'correct' interpretation of a photograph.

A photograph is a picture and no more true or false than any other depiction; why is that so hard to comprehend?

Advice to artists: always take the opportunity to shut up.

Words of wisdom for every photographer: 'Thinking is more interesting than knowing, but less interesting than looking'. So said Goethe.

Be gentle and tolerant. Intimacy will grow, but will take time and cannot be rushed. If all goes well, soon you will become more familiar with each other, and handling will forge awkward fumbling and fondling into more satisfying and productive caresses and eventually into a comfortable working partnership. At this stage you will be ready to accompany your new camera into the world.

Predators and prey always coexist. That's why we have galleries as well as photographers.

Asked for your opinion on the prints, you have two choices: truth or tact. I ask for the bathroom.
