Names, titles, analogies to writing, all very interesting means to get a handle on when or if to tamper with, alter, embellish or apply emphasis to the facts.

Feli ISNT a photojournalist.
So, does Feli intend to present photographic fiction (novelist)?
Or, a photo which behaves like an essay (essayist)?
Or, propoganda (propagandist)?
Or, an artistic statement (poet)?
Or, does he plan to sell something with the image (commercial artist)?
Or, does he just intend to have some visual entertainment for himself (hobbyist)?
Or, documentarian?
Or, photoethnographer?
Or,

A few questions for Feli and all of us who do photography with a certain seriousness: 
What do you intend your photograph to talk about?
Whom do you wish to say it talk to?
Why do find it interesting to visually talk about these things?

Fond regards,

G e o r g e   L o t t e r m o s e r,    imagist
