One should use his/her heart to understanding the value and meaning of a photo and then pass a visual judgment.

Pictures, regardless of how they are created and recreated, are intended to be looked at. This brings to the forefront not the technology of imaging, which of course is important, but rather what we might call the eyenology (seeing).

-Henri Cartier-Bresson

All the technique in the world doesn’t compensate for the inability to notice.
