For me the photograph must suggest rather than insist or explain; just as a novelist offers his readers only a part of his creation —in leaving certain aspects un expressed —so I think the photograph shouldn't provide superfluous explanations of its subject. I'm thinking for example of certain facades of old houses, pierced with windows which no human presence could ever bring alive. Without knowing more about it I can imagine the sort of existence human beings lead behind walls like these. But better still, I should be able, by photographing it in a certain way to render completely tangible the hidden life behind.
