    Ansel and I agree with you.

    Or, if such meaning is somehow considered, it is innate and not an entirely concious act. I would not want to be burdened with a concious effort at such meaning but can accept that perhaps artists can evoke a variety of sublimity without necessarily being overly analytical about it.

    Hey, is that aimed at me?
    Just to clarify, when I'm out photographing (if I'm doing it right), I'm certainly not thinking about defining my innermost thoughts or feelings, or of anything 'mystical' whatsoever. But I do think that my past experiences, my beliefs, my thoughts and feelings, do influence both what I photograph and how I photograph it. I think they do for everyone. And that's a good thing-if they didn't, all our pictures would look the same.

    This idea was entertained with serious consideration. The danger is, someone might disagree, and actually like the images

    I may be an exception too. I won't shoot a subject unless I have a connection that inspires me to a much deeper connection that I try to bring out at the time of exposure. Otherwise I could keep shooting commercials and making a lot more money. I've been there done that and turned away from it to shoot the big B&W negs analog style all through the photo chemical workflow.
