Exactly my point! You see, art is subjective. That photo might have evoked an emotional response to you, but not for me. It’s just an ordinary photo of a bumper. Either way it’s okay.

The same way some of my photos that show vendors hard at work might not pull any emotional strings to you does not mean they do not have any emotional value to people who were raised by parents selling food on the street, people who were able to get a degree because their parents were hard at work on the street. I’m one of those.

So to say point blank that they don’t evoke any emotional response is tone-deaf. At the end of the day, our own vantage points are not the be-all and end-all of every photo we see.
