Mike Johnston’s Sunday Morning Photographer column looks this week at the subjective issue of why some people like a photograph, and some don’t…

“The question, more bluntly put, is “Why the heck do you like that?” There’s no one right answer here, of course, so I can look at this from both sides. Most importantly, though, there ain’t no Emperor. What I mean is, I’m not privy to any secret Guild card or arcane knowledge that somehow bestows upon me the right to say what’s good and what’s not. When I say I like something, I just mean I like it. I’m not implying that you should like it, or if you knew more you would like it, or you’re a Philistine for not liking it. We all get to have our own taste.”
