Clive, I have noticed that some of your portfolio photographs enjoy a lot of views and yet few comments (sometimes none). I've wondered about that because (a) your photographs are unusually thoughtful; and (b) the ones that attract the fewest comments are often the best, or at least the most thought provoking. I wonder why it is that comments are so often given in inverse proportion to degree of difficulty, and given instead in proportion to degree of comfort. Why it is that so many of us insist on secure ground before driving a stake in.
I don't know the answer, unless it's the desire to say, "Oh yes, that's a (whatever)" and measure it against all the other whatevers we have ever seen, and then move on to the next whatever and measure that one. Which leads with a leaden inevitability to breathless appreciations of water drops, gigantic insects and wine glasses of course.
A rich and engaging photograph like this deserves some pause, even if it's just to reflect on why so many people don't pause. |
