Why does a picture have to tell a story? Why can't a picture simply be a picture. Just because there's no story behind a picture doesn't make it bland and boring. Not all photography is photo journalism.
I agree. I was a photojournalist for 40 years wherein I needed often to tell a story, but I never felt every picture I took was required to. Sometimes, as the saying goes, "a cigar is just a cigar." No need to psychoanalyze every image ever recorded.
