Rather than, "Here > is what I think about this." Alan I agree with what you say. To me, if you have to explain (justify?) the photo (or other art) then it probably has little of it's own to say. Ignoring statements, for me even the title an author gives a picture can make or break it. The best are fairly "general", that is they allow the picture to be something to anybody without "forcing" the interpretation. A bad tile, like a bad statement, is almost spoonfeeding the viewer Naming pictures is not something I'm good at which is possibly why I feel that way. Bob
