... anytime you attempt to "frame" the living world you are forced to make some quaint decisions in order to make it fit it a conventional framework. What you are referring to is result of the process of distillation and extraction that goes on in any picture making process. IMO, when the world stands still for a tiny moment (as it does in a picture), a certain nobility is imparted to that "framed" little part of the world. Strangely, this holds true regardless of the picture - no matter if it is of a beautiful face, or a fresh pile of steamin' dogshit. Cheers.
