Tbh, I look at photography from a technical standpoint. I place a lot of emphasis on how crisp an image is, whether it's the composition or the actual details of the image. I dont see or look for messages in photographs, merely the care with which the photo was taken. This is also my stance on the "art" aspect of photography. To me expertise has a higher value than artistic form. Creativity has its merits, but there are better ways of being creative than others, and the difference is in the level of expertise.

I wont say much more as I'll probably just end up offending people
