One Amazing Thing

04 Jun

rock and rollI can’t believe it took me this long to understand something very important.  Something very essential.  Great photography-hell even good photography-is capturing a focus on one amazing thing.  A person’s face.  All of the great photo’s I have ever seen communicate one thing very, very well.  This person is poor.  These eyes are blue.  God put a lot of attention to detail in creating this mountain.  One Amazing Thing.  The images I’m less impressed with try to do to much, or are purely technical achievements.  They try to do too much, or they don’t say anything.  “That door is blue” can be an amazing thing, but sometimes two bright colors, living together in harmony or conflict says nothing.
