I don't have anything to say in any picture. But you do, from your experience, surmise something. You do give a photograph symbolic content, narrative content... But it's nothing to worry about!

There's all kinds of people teaching who don't do anything worth a nickel. Likewise in advertising.

I said the photograph isn't what was photographed, it's something else. It's about transformation. And that's what it is.

Photography is about finding out what can happen in the frame. When you put four edges around some facts, you change those facts.

The photograph should be more interesting or more beautiful than what was photographed

I don't think of it as difficult. It would be difficult if I were carrying something heavy, but I carry Leicas. You can't talk about it that way. I'm not operating a shovel and getting tired.

In the end, maybe the correct language would be how the fact of putting four edges around a collection of information or facts transforms it. A photograph is not what was photographed, it's something else.
