you have to have an understanding of the concept of 'art'. To me, art
is showing something to someone in a new way. A farmer sees a painter
has set up his easel on the edge of the road and is painting a picture
of the farmer's barn. The farmer looks over the painter's shoulder and
says 'Wow, I never realized that barn was so pretty!' The artist is
showing the farmer a barn he's seen every day of his life, but he's
never seen it in that way. That's the purpose of art (in my view).
A photograph is just another way of showing someone something. It's
useful, or at least very interesting, to understand how another person
sees it. The artist might be trying to get a message across and he
wonders of the viewer of the picture got it. Or there might be things
about the picture that the artist didn't even realize, because he was
thinking about something else.
I took a photography course in college, and of course there was a book
to read, an anthology of essays written by various photographers over
the last century and a half. The forward of the book made it clear that
the editor didn't believe there was a whole lot to be learned by
READING about photography. If you could explain a photograph entirely
in words, the photograph itself is useless! Its like the old saying (I
don't know where it came from): Writing about music is like dancing
about architecture.
But having other people critique your photographs can be very useful,
especially when you're just starting out. You want to know how well
you're sharing your vision. Are you making things too obvious? Are you
just repeating a cliche? Do your photographs make people smile, or
wonder, or inspire yearnings in them?
Photography is a -language-. It's meant to -say- things. In order to
use it to communicate, you need to have some understanding of how your
photos are seen by others, that's what Weston meant about understanding
your fellow man.</span>
