I don't like the idea of forcing MY photographic interpretations on others. I provide a quick caption, but I don't go into "details"--since these are my own takes on the photo, not what someone else might see. Great comments, I elaborated more at Kittywampus’s; I also see photos as “emotions”–and I am reluctant to “interpret” these for others… you may not see it the way I do at all… just like music, movies, fiction or any other matter of taste and sensibility.

I don’t like the idea of forcing MY photographic interpretations on others.

It seems to me that what bfp described above is a component of ADD/ADHD. Not being to break down stuff in smaller components, not knowing where to begin, it's overwhelming. It has nothing to due with lack of intelligence. Too many people seem to think ADD/ADHD equals defiant behavior, laziness etc which it is NOT! It is also my understanding that most people's brains process language in words but some people's brains (dyslexia/autism) process language in pictures. That made a lot of sense to me.
