    If a movie can be compared to a story or a novella, a TV series to a novel, then a photograph would be a poem, perhaps even more specifically a haiku.
    To say that a good photograph must have some technical characteristics - sharpness, absence of noise, dips in shadows, etc. - is like saying that a good poem is only one that is written in perfect caligraphic handwriting on completely white paper with completely black ink.
    Imagine poets endlessly discussing fountain pens from different manufacturers, studying the tables of characteristics of different pens, papers, and inks... Ridiculous. However, I have personally known amateur photographers who devote most of their "photographic time" to similar activities, and certainly on the web 99% of amateur photographers do just that.
    So maybe just take underexposed, unsharp, crooked photos and walk around with your "photographer" nose up proudly? I think that would be even funnier. I think the point is that if you "wash away" the technical characteristics from your photos, then some will have nothing left at all, while others will have an "insoluble residue", which is exactly where the value of the photo can be found.
