Here is a paragraph from today's Washington Post that speaks to the discussion we've been having:

"Sometimes the beauty of a photograph is that it even exists at all. Its value can have little to do with traditional hallmarks of great photography -- a remarkable quality of light, say, a counter-balance of angles or a striking pattern of shapes. Instead, the photograph captures a moment, however simply, that furthers the story of who we are and how we live (or used to live) that otherwise might have been forever lost. Like a disorienting dream, such photographs can hold us in their grips by simultaneously revealing the utterly familiar and the utterly mysterious. And the more we study them for clues, the more our relationship with the pictures -- and the mystery -- deepens."
