"modes of expression" implies you have something to express...if there is a message...it shouldn't be obscured by its packaging. so what's my point ?...quite simple, perhaps somewhat naive... understandable to me why some "cutting edge" photography is so dependent on technique, ie "bells and whistles"... more packaging, the more likely it's hollow... at the core, empty... all show.... seems that on the other hand, when you have something really important to say... you say it directly/simply... you want it to be easily understood... no hocus pocus is needed, and only gets in the way... that's all my friend, Steve
