Photographs and their story structure

[Exdsc]

I like photographs that don't try to tell a story.

I'm not interested in stories, I'm interested in how a photograph looks as a whole. The 'look' is everything... If I was interested in stories and pictures, I'd read comic books.

Photography is not a substitute for writing.

Certainly the way I feel about.

Yes, I'm interested in a photograph's photography. Illustrated stories are fine. But having one discipline needing validation from another is silly.

It's a bit like saying "a good photograph needs colors". Yes, there are great and excellent color photographs, but there are also great and excellent monochrome photographs. Somebody insisting that a photograph needs to be monochrome is simply silly. Same thing for so-called storytelling requirements.

I like photographs that leave room for the viewer to make up his own story.
