Reuss, you are a romantic and have a warm side to you as well as being an amazing writer and communicator. You had me all the way then the last line made me bust out laughing out loud! Thanks!
Brent, Glad you took my comments in the spirit they were intended. Had second thoughts that I might have overstepped with the last line. But I'm a dirty/grumpy old man who says dumb stuff at times. With 5 pages of responses, it looks like you evoked that emotional response in a lot of people. Good show!

Reuss, I like what you wrote: "The allure of art, including photography, is to evoke an emotional response in the viewer." I agree with that. The emotions of the viewer should be touched in some way and the photographer could be considered the "Director" on where and how those emotions should be touched.

That's a good analogy. The whole process starts with seeing something in your mind's eye, then finding a way to capture the essence and convey it to others. That's the director's role and photography is only one of many tools to do that. It pleased me to learn that I had evoked an emotional response from you in return, maybe more than you expected. A pleasant moment all around. Enjoyed this exchange
