 posthumous: "To dismiss the title is to give in to the ILLUSION [my caps] that the photograph exists independently..."
Prolly just underestimated the power of illusion... Thass why we here... Thought me and zz was getting the hang of the photo-title thang.

To me the title is meaningless... I don't really take them in - unless it's sub-conscious, which is possible I guess but I don't deliberately read them. To me the image has to be something that interests me in some way making me want to pause & examine in more detail or better yet make a statement to me.... could be completely different to the photg imagines and might not even be thought of by the photg. The images that make strong statements tend to be photojourno types to me.
Put me in the villager photo steal my soul camp :-)

| I wish they all were untitled. One less thing I have to worry about. Will they think my title is stupid? Is it too long? Too short? Are the words spelled correctly? Will they think that I'm trying to shoe-horn a photo because of the title? |

You took it well, then. |

Very clever insult, but not an accurate assessment, imo. :-) |

I wasn't personally insulted, I actually thought it was clever. But you don't think it's an insult to say that anyone who feels titles aren't important is essentially backwards and superstitious? Hmmm, maybe "insult" is the wrong word. Whatever, it's after midnight and I'm zonked.
