Emotion and Feeling Over Precision in Photography

A thought while doing some calligraphy and studying some great calligraphy (Eulogy for Burying a Crane and the Art of Chinese Calligraphy)

With calligraphy, what makes a great calligraphy is emotion, dynamism, energy, force, and the “chi” of the artist.

With photography — precision is overrated. Emotional photography is the future.
