I don't think time is involved in how the thing is made.

What you photograph is responsible for how a photograph looks - the form, the design, whatever word you want to use.

Just think how minimal somebody's family album is. But you start looking at one of them, and the word everybody will use is "charming." Something just happened. It's automatic, just operating a camera intelligently.

You're talking about meaning. I want to talk about the picture.

I don't go around looking at my pictures.

The world isn't tidy; it's a mess. I don't try to make it neat.

A pun calls the meaning of a word into question, and it upsets us tremendously. We laugh because suddenly we find out we're not going to get killed. I think a lot of things work that way with photographs.
