Appreciation

Sometimes a photographer snaps photos that are not meant for the world at large. He takes a photo with such subtlety and nuance that it could only be appreciated by a fellow photographer. The result is a photographer’s photo.

Comedians are the same. There are jokes that play on the pain and art that go into writing a joke. There is such thing as a comedian’s joke.

Some of the best writing is only appreciated by other writers. A novelist’s novel or a poet’s poem.

The only way to appreciate true genius it to take a stab at it ourselves.
