The essay basically came down to one point: People enjoy to see symmetry and patterns.
Life is full of patterns from color to shades to different ways that shapes come together to form a bigger and better shape. Everything is a pattern, and humans have the inane ability to see and display these natural patterns. Photography is a tool that can be used to bring these patterns to life, photos display something that can be shown without relying on words or descriptions.
Photos are more subtle than movies or diagrams or drawings, the message is hidden and must be found by the viewer rather than just be directly told. I am not a photo major, therefore I lack the ability to display what photos can show.
However I can show messages and patterns through my drawings which are a type of photo on their own. However they are designed by my hand rather than using a viewing tool like a camera. Both forms of photography can display different themes and tones depending on how you manipulate the photo. Its a delicate balance that can sometimes tip out of your favor if the angle is not just right or if there is too much color in one place.
