Every photo, painting, poem, work of art in any medium, is conveying some
sort of message from the creator to the viewer. It may be as simple a
message as "this is beauty," but there is a message there somewhere. If
there isn't, I would argue, it's not art....

i'm with you 100%. but what about the photo that does not seek to convey a
message?
