If a photograph is a classical like "Moonrise", to
argue about details makes sense IMO. It's like to
argue about a classical sculpture, picture, musical
work, etc. Is it relevant to argue about the great
artists and the means and circumstances they used to
obtain the results we admire?. Yes, it is relevant.
If I used an irony about that Ansel Hernandez that you
quoted it was because you were adding confusion about
the photo that was the original topic.-
I disagree. If we were arguing about what film he used, how he
developed it, what paper he printed it on, how he dodged and burned it,
etc., it might make sense.
It simply makes no difference at all when he took it. The exact
combination of conditions on that day and time will never be
duplicated. Unless there was some important point of historical
significance, no one should care.
