When you create photographs, most often the What of the subject is the first objective, what exactly are you photographing,
The more subtle is the why, why exactly are you framing the shot, and what is the message or story if any you want to convey.
I confess that most of my shots fall in the What category, or where, I suppose, with the occasional Why, What, and Where.
When you get back, the What photographs have to be the most spectacular, to stand out, but the Why shots can have less technical muster, and yet appeal more to the viewer due perhaps to a similar connection.
In the end, one never knows until the picture is out of the camera how the picture will stand the test of time.
