In photographs I don't like what is often call 'reading into' the image - e.g. "look at the clouds can you see an animal".
Frost on windows or metal etc always grabs me.
Can you resist 'seeing' something when they are strong clues or indicators?
For contemplative photography, as in meditation and zen teachings, it is the isness - which requires resting in Awareness, experiencing without interpretation.
Once you attach a name you demand a particular reading, an interpretation which is why many photographers and other visual artists don't attach names to their work.
