A photograph, whether an object in a frame on a wall or an image on a computer screen, is open. It requires us to subject ourselves to it. Only in that interaction with the photograph will it reveal itself, in ways that are different for you than they are for me. What thus makes a great photograph so powerful is not the object itself, it is the effect it has on the viewer (phrasing it that way makes things very obvious), piercing right through to her or his desire, puncturing whatever hard shell might have been constructed around it.
