Thanks a lot to all for the answers to this admittedly impossible question. As said I don�t expect to get an answer, but am merely looking for sources to better understand what makes a photo tick. I enjoyed a lot the Wessel video � thanks � and like his photos. Many are quite Cartier-Bresson like and dependent on this magical moment which exactly produces this WOW effect f.ex. the Santa Barbara 1977 photo of the man watching the dows fly � fantastic. And then again there is a good example of what I don�t understand. Have a look at Wessel�s gallery site � HYPERLINK "http://renabranstengallery.com/wessel.html"http://renabranstengallery.com/w essel.html - there�s a photo in the Las Vegas serie of the parking lot or road called Las Vegas no.3 from 2000 (top right). Could someone please explain to me why this deserves a place there? Actually most of the Las Vegas serie are the kind of photos that I sometimes also shoot, but would most likely discard as being un-interesting or even boring. Please understand I am not flogging Wessel here � I am merely trying to understand something that really puzzles me. Regards, Peter No virus found in this outgoing message.
