Thanks for sharing and happy New Year Kasey
I have always thought that photography is about telling stories with the images you take.
So I would say story. Your photograph can not be technically perfect, but if it tells a story, people with the sensitivity will like it. And even if nobody does, you will, because you know what’s behind that moment.

What’s more important: technique or story?
Classic question... The latest project by Alfonso Cuarón (producer, writer, director, & cinematographer) is the 2018 movie "Roma"... you might enjoy the imagery of the movie... ( link to trailer ) Poster for "Roma" by Alfonso Cuarón Alfonso Cuarón tal...

René: As a lad, I remember talking to my dad...
who among other things was a professional photographer, about "opportunity vs. quality of technique"... how a beautiful location or spectacular event might over shadow a very well executed photo of a mundane or banal theme. For the life of me I can't reme...

The Japanese indie film "万引き家族" (direct translation "Shoplifting Family") looks to be excellent and it seems to have won the top prize at Cannes. The 2018 Polish historical period movie "Zimna wojna" (Cold War) is likewise very well recieved... It's getti...
The person who did Cold War has an earlier film, Ida. It is also excellent.
I hope you can see it as well.

Which is great news... the 'problem' I have with seeing foreign language films here in Tokyo is that the movies are normally in the original language with Japanese sub-titles... I remember watching the English version of "Dancing with Wolves" in Zurich wh...
A couple of results from the Golden Globes 2019
Best director - motion picture Winner: Alfonso Cuarón - Roma Best foreign language film Winner: Roma Strange Golden Globes factoid... in the two "Best Motion Picture" categories (drama or comedy-musical) it seems that the nominees must be English-language...

with a mediocre director or cinematography may still provide the necessary entertainment for the masses and fill cinemas. A movie without a good story but with great technique may fall flat in the box office but is appreciated by a select audience that lo...
My take it that it's all a bit of a 'trick-statement'...
What I like about "open questions" is that I am forced to think about the two seemingly opposite poles, how there can be granularity (the unexpected) at each end, and how they can complement each other... The cast of "Seinfeld" always said that the TV sho...
