Intersections Between Language and Photography

said of the snapshot, ” a good [one] stops the moment from running away.”

So, I’m here worrying the thing that deems one photograph a snapshot and the other photograph a bit of art.

Does knowledge/training reduce one’s ability to produce snapshots thereby separating our perception of an image by nothing more than an understanding or notion of what art is?

what the snapshot isn’t?

I still point and shoot. But don’t I look just a bit longer through the viewfinder at the form and direction of things touching, however slightly, the subject of my gaze?

Eudora, doesn’t a good composition also stop the moment from running away?
