Qualities and Properties

I had missed this Mike Johnston essay, Qualities and Properties.

It's about what's important in an image and noise and resolution aren't.

"If we really want to talk about pictures we'd almost need the language of poetry. We'd talk about time, ghosts, loss, relationships, strangeness and familiarity, aging, aspiration and longing, places to be, subjective response, meaning, experience, love, all sorts of things. It's a language we don't really know."

Before you press the shutter, think about what language you want to talk about the shot in.
