Dan, I would say that the intent of a photograph should be to get us to thinking . But unfortunately, many do not have enough in them to do that. But I think all good photographs do get us thinking, asking questions and are beyond, as Weston called it, the obvious. The easy thing to do is to photograph a noun and it still is a noun. Yep, that\'s a car or yep, that\'s a rock. The hard part is moving the image beyond that or beyond the noun or in other words the obvious.
If my images can get a smile from the viewer, get him or her to think about things or to look deeper into my images to get more meaning because there is maybe more there, then I have succeeded. And if the images look like my images look like my images then I have really hit a home run.
