To be straight up front: They are not the best shots from the day, but they do have a theme.
They are the ones where the sun is in the picture.
I know the conventional photographic perspective dictates that the way it obscures details makes for awful pictures. I'm not of the opinion that they are good pictures. I'm also of the opinion that merely making good pictures isn't always interesting photography. However, do not interpret that statement as attempting to convince you that these shots are interesting. You think whatever you think.

ReplyDeleteYour essay reminds me of an article I saw in a photography magazine one time. It was about a new area of exploration for professional/artistic photogs called "snapshot photography." You see, some of these artsy types were so desperate to do something new and different that they started to imitate the ordinary snapshot shooter, just grabbing a "natural" shot and not being worried about the right composition. Some people even collect old snapshots as art. Talk about the mind's-eye of the beholder...

It's all about making someone think what you've done is art...
