We know a lot about photography, it's techniques, the skills, the critiques, the styles, etc,

is there something that we do not know? that is least known about photography.

wa...is that a philosophy type of question ?
is photography all about capturing a technically correct image in terms of focus, exposure, composition, stlye etc ?
Or do we sometime miss the true picture while we are too engross with the technical details above ?

Do you notice how certain photographs, regardless if its technically awesome or not, will captivate someone while fail to capture beyond 2 secs of another person's attention ?

Cutout from the internet :

Great photography is simple.
It is merely to discover, collect, arrange, create, anticipate or provoke exquisite subject matter;
and then to choose, invent, or patiently wait for that properly illuminating and perfectly enhancing light,
in order to utilize the proper electronic and mechanical equipment,
and the optical and chemical principles and processes,
which will isolate, immobilize, and capture the combination forever
in a visually meaningful and aesthetically interesting way.
It takes only a camera and film.
It is almost as simple as writing, which needs only pen and paper;
as sculpting, which requires only chisel and mallet;
or as orchestra conducting, which demands only a thin stick and an evening coat.


I think someone in this forum has mentioned before "connecting with the audience"
Maybe we need more enlightenment in this area :)

Just my 2 cents
