In my view, part of the "message" of a painting or a photograph of a 
particular subject is "look at how interesting this is."  Simply by making 
the choice to paint or photograph a subject, the artist is holding it up for 
the viewer to look at and, in effect, saying: "Look at this!"  This doesn't 
mean that every subject automatically becomes interesting by virtue of being 
photographed.  (Let's not have that debate again!)  But I do believe it is 
the skill and creativity of the photographer, rather than any intrinsic 
"interesting-ness" of the subject, which makes the photograph.
