But I think what you’re talking about is actually one of the bigger problems of people starting photography, which is that they’re thinking of photography as pointing and not framing so they’re looking at an object and their field of perception kind of dissipates as it gets to the edge, like the way a rock song fades out … (laughter). It’s avoiding the decisiveness of saying “Here’s the last note” In a photograph, there is always a last note.

  6. stellar808 said: I think of it as an open or closed framing. Compositionally, a closed frame is very contained, “the last note”. An open composition suggests something else is going on beyond the frame, the world is larger than the photograph.
