Response to Another generic picture.

from John Kantor (jkantor@mindspring.com)
A subtle point of difference: I didn't suggest reshooting this picture. I suggested shooting another picture using elements of this one (whether with the same subject or not).

I also don't really believe spontaneity is the right term - certainly not if the subject knows they are being photographed. I'd prefer to refer to it as a collaboration between the subject and photographer.

In short, to me, all photography is about staging, roleplaying, and manipulation (though traditionalist's might prefer terms like technique, vision, and style). However, I certainly do believe that serendipity plays a large role in the outcome.

Anyway, I'll remember this one and steal some ideas from it...I'm sorry, I mean use it as a source of inspiration...in the future.
