appreciation of the image...
for good or bad...
While it strikes me as unusual in photography to be unable to
divulge key information about the subject...both in the photo, or in
words.
However personally, I will not divulge certain things, ever, for a
variety of reasons...
this in turn makes some types of images more difficult to
accomplish...it also has an effect on the understanding of those who
look at them...<<<
Hi Steve,
But the most important point of all? Each photograph is a heart and
gut grabbing beautiful, sometimes a touch sad or the opposite, as
happy as all get out
thanks Ted...very, very kind of you...
as in real world medical care of very sick kids...there are huge ups
and downs...in fact the downs are awful moments, but help you fully
savor the ups...
so I believe in photos to be real and convincing, there must be up and
down images, with the bitter ones helping us to appreciate and fully
savor the sweetness of the others...
This shows in Ted's beautiful medical books.
Ted, Philippe, and others clearly by their experience as well as their
intuition do fully understand...
Steve
photograph requiring no word of explanation for the public. Even
though they only want to know purely from curiosity.
On all my medical work there’s a strict anonymity rule about who
what why other than a specific “photo technical” question. And I
don’t care who thinks otherwise.
