One day, the grandfather told his grandchild to tide up the garden. The boy
then put all the stones arranged by size, swept the floor and trash every
yellow leaf he saw in the garden. Then he called the old man.
- - no, it's not OK. I told you to tide up the garden -said the man rather
angry

The grandchild arranged every bounch of flowers, and the garden chairs, and
the kettle and moved away an old timber that laid in one of the corners.

When the grandfather saw him, he went to the garden, scattered the leaves
everywhere, put the timber in its original position and disarranged the
stones.

it's a garden, my son -he said tenderly -and this is how it must be put in
order. Because garden's order is that of nature and not of man.


I think it's just the same with photography, don't you agree?
