utube d hockney whats unphotographical

i watched d hockney describe in water color why somethings cannot be photographed and must be painted and another on scrolls in chinese art as compared to framed pictures. i am trying to decide if i am interpreting the film and talk right.
what i gather is that memories of place and vast design of place need to be described by skilled hand.. and can not be interpreted as well in photography for him as in watercolor.

i cant draw on one sheet of paper for much of my experience,,,so this limited edge has played quite a factor in my drawing and work...........the way i see and perceive depth or the form goes out of the boundaries of the page...and had even when i was an accountant adding pages with tape to my spread sheets...or in grade school and had to write across the two pages of my notebooks.........is this biological like ADHD?? How much of what we do is predetermined because of genetics...and how much by circumstances? is my perception or sight problem a problem that in fact caused me to be curious about things and draw them, much like my inability to do math which enraged me enough to become an accountant??? do life's tragedies become scars that in fact move us to do our best work... can depression, anxiety, mourning, ADD be described as assets and without them i would be without my art? if so have i complained for so long about them as i would about an enemy when in fact they were friends? paul
