Digital photography makes it possible to sometimes share the results of a picture with my subjects instantly. It brings them great pleasure. Although I was able to at least say “thank you” in Chinese, simply being able to show this family the photo I had just made of them ( click on thumbnail below to see it ) allowed me to offer them an extra measure of thanks. The gifted pbase photographer Jen Zhou not only made this image, but also made my image of them possible by talking with them as I photographed their interaction as a family. I had no idea that Jen had made this image – which is even richer in interaction than my own image of them. Jen had not shown it to me before now because she had felt this picture was technically flawed. She told me that she wished that “the people were not blurred," and felt that she "should have gotten more of me into the picture.” I told her that the blur added emotional content to the photograph, and that her tight framing did not hurt the expression of the message. Sometimes photographers can place greater value on form than on content. In this case, Jen’s content proves much more important than her form. It is a worthy addition to this gallery.
