Should a photograph be about something?

…or at least give the suggestion of a storyline, of people as characters that we care about, even if we don’t know all the details? Images resonate when they pique our imagination with hints to a deeper reality, beyond just a costume or a pretty face. A suspended moment in time reassures us that there is more to come, that something has happened or will happen, with promises of a complete ending.

Like a good song, photos should tell us a story, and leave us wondering,
wanting to know more.
