The 'No-story' photo

Look at the following situation rich with poetic possibilities as well as ideal material for a good photograph :

The bench in the park

Sunlight sieved by the pipal tree
Played on the spread-out newspaper
And the trouser legs.

Here it is merely a static representation of a spatial situation without the story elements. As a poetic image it is a marvellous situation which has brilliant visual elements :sunlight , sieved by the pipal foliage, playing ,trouser legs , spread-out newspaper .

A photograph reproduces all the visual elements except "playing", a dynamic-visual element owing its source to the wind in the tree . Although there is no story element which makes the situation interesting the photograph is still , at one level, evocative because of the way it captures all the elements into a unique spatial existence carved in a narrow strip of time.
