Is meaning lost when everything is forced to be concise?

Musings on Photography continues a series of excellent and thoughful postings, this time on concision: "I’m just fascinated by how your perceptions change when you change attention span. If you focus on a garden for ten minutes, you might come away with a certain sort of photographic series. If you focus on it for a month, you come away with a different sort of series. It’s not that the photos are better or worse when examined individually; it’s that when taken as a set the photos done as a result of photographing repeatedly over the course of a month can examine different and longer running processes at work."

This is so good that it is almost painful, like to writings of Fyodor Dostoevsky. Well worth thinking about. If anyone these days can afford to stop and think.
