What makes a photograph good? Or great? Or memorable?
It may be the light. The location. The composition or content. The subject. Or the emotion.
An exact definition of a good photograph remains elusive in the nearly two centuries since photography was invented.
A photograph speaks to different people in different ways. What is good to one person may be bad to another. As famed photographer Ansel Adams said, “Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution.”
Each year, Yakima Herald-Republic photographers take thousands upon thousands of photographs documenting the life, people and places of Central Washington. Out of those thousands of pictures, each photographer has chosen his or her best photograph taken in 2009. The reasons for these choices are as varied as the photographs themselves.
