“A meaningful photograph begins with some recognition of the qualities of the subject to which we have a personal response. It is usually a rather “immediate” happening; seldom the result of prolonged thought. The artist frequently responds to some creative symbolism in his subject - yet this may be an unconscious awareness on his part which which is transmitted to the spectator in a variety of interpretations. To attempt “verbal explanation” of the image or to impose fixed interpretations will simply ruin the experience for the spectator.” - Ansel Adams (Photo via Wikipedia)
