Rob, I disagree with you. Every photo does have "meaning" and "insight" However, "sunsets are pretty" is meaningful. And, "sunsets are pretty because God made them that way" is insightful. (although, IMHO, wrong).
It's a matter of degree, I guess...
cheers, frank

Exactly, does every photo have to have "meaning" or give "insight"? Some are
just pretty pictures, nice to look at, maybe a brief pictorial glimpse of the
world the photog saw and wanted to share.
