Of All The #$%%&*(#@


Today, I came across a picture in the link above. Is the camera more important or the photographer in the creation of a good photo? Are the eyes of the beholder more important or are good looks more important? Where does beauty really lie? Is the typewriter more important or the typist in the creation of a good poem? 

How can one equate the poem with the photo? A poem is rarely evaluated by the quality of typing while a photo is often evaluated by such things which are dependent on a camera. 

There seem to be different things that goes into making quality. 

  • The subject: the poet, photographer 
  • The tool: the typewriter, the camera
  • The object: the words, the object being shot
The quality of a picture depends on the photographer. And as importantly, it depends on the camera and on what is being shot.
