I feel like I’m repeating myself here, but I’m going to anyway (and I’m going to capitalize it for good measure) : Good Images are About Good Stories.
But there is another ingredient that is often ignored and it’s this: ???
Mystery.
Sometimes an image should be straight forward, sometimes the story should be there in your face with drama and panache.
Sometimes, it shouldn’t. Sometimes you should cock your head at a photo and wonder what the heck is happening in there.
But the balancing act between mystery and nonsense is upon a very sharp knife. Many, most, practically all, such images will fail. But a few won’t.
These kinds of photos won’t likely be the sort that people will ooh and ahh over. They won’t get a thousand likes on Facebook. But what is popular and what is good don’t always coincide.
