By "What We Need to Know", I refer to the viewer - that hungry information beast often in need of far more than just an image. This need can range from nothing except the photograph, to a title, to a few comments from the photographer, to a long speech of justification. It can be a competitive and passionate situation between the photographer and viewer. What does the viewer want to know, how much and when and in the other corner: the photographer - how much does the photographer want to reveal and when? Who will "win" and how will either ever know what they truly needed to know and what they didn't need to know.
