So why would I make a photo of two rocks? This is actually a photo about two rocks, and the answer has to do with relationships. Composition in photography, as in any other visual art, is all about relationships: relative positions, sizes, colors, brightness, textures, on and on. All of those relationships say something about the subject; they imply meanings and contribute to the viewer's emotional response to the image. In this instance, what is your impression of the relationship between the two rocks? What is the relationship between each of them and the other visual elements in the image, in terms of color, hardness, texture and space? What are your feelings about this image? Are your feelings and understanding of this image similar in any way to relationships you have with other people? I will let you draw your own conclusions about why I made this image, other than to say that when I made it -- or, to be more precise, immediately before I made it -- the relationships I was perceiving in this scene resonated powerfully with personal memories of my relationships with certain people in my past. Our understanding of our world is informed by our lifetime of experiences. We are constantly comparing the present to our past, to better understand the present. There are many ways of expressing our feelings and observations through art. I choose to do that through the medium of photography.
