Just rereading the book Things once seen by Richard Quincey. I do agree with him up to a point when he says that the photograph is of “what has been”. I believe that it goes further than simply to “attest that what I see has simply existed”. A picture reflects visually what the photographer feels about the photographed subject like his very personal images reflect.
Behind that simple façade the viewer can unearth many personal experiences.
