That reminds me of how Ernest Hemingway said to write:

First you write, then you take out all the adjectives.

Subject: RE: [Leica] PAW 33-abstract photography


I recently had the opportunity of hearing from a
photographer who has made a good reputation out of his
"abstractions". According to this guy, to produce
abstract photography is very simple: one picks any
subject and starts taking out context until all
meaning has been lost...[:-)]and what is left stands
just on the basis of "pure" (i.e., context free,
meaningless) design.[:-), :-)....]
