Most spectacular and renowned photographs depict something that's special - a special landscape, a special person in a portrait, a special kind of light, and even if the subject is ordinary it's presented in a special sort of way. I think this applies to the medium of presentation itself. It was this train of thought that eventually led me to folios, chap books, and PDFs rather than matted and framed prints on the wall or more recently, Instagram, et al.
