Human photography essay

PHOTO PERFECTION

What is the meaning or the purpose of “perfection” in photography? My thought —

To perfect, means to complete, or accomplish or finish.

Per+facere (to do) in Latin.

Thus “perfection” is nothing but doing something and seeing it until completion.

Thus perhaps we should think of “perfection” as an ongoing task. That as we explore, adventure, experiment and tinker … we’re actually leading towards perfection!
