I don't think that because somebody says, "Hey, look over there!" It
becomes their picture and not the person who sets up, chooses a film, lens,
composition; and makes the negative, then the print.
The question of 'choices' my dear friend, becomes the thesis of the 1952
nobel prize. (Was that Sartre's year?)
Whenwe consider what's 'in you' to attract your attention and what's 'for
you' to attract your attention; and we consider someone whom we love it
becomes a question as to what we think of as love as to what part of us is
we or them.
