A little bit on my developing photo theory:
Photography is all about light values, and the way those different values relate to each other. If you can recognize that and bring it out in the shooting and editing process then you are on the right track. The essence of photography is to make a record of light. Photo-graph, a "light record". Never loose sight of that.
Concepts, metaphors, messages, symbols, etc. can all be put on the back burner. The beautiful characteristics of light is a sufficient concept to portray. Light relationships speak to the heart more than intellectualism. And you can say as much, or even more, with the beauty of light as with conceptualism.
