“Seeing Things”
“Seeing Things”… Literally through Lenses; Figuratively despite Filters™
To truly “see things” is not only the mission of my photography, but that which drives all of my personal and professional life’s work. My desire is that my images incite feelings, inspire imagination, and transport people… perhaps to better places, for a moment of truth, if only for a time.
You see, how you ”see things” affects everything…
“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” ~ Marcel Proust
“… to see what he saw and be able to put it into words and images.” – anonymous quote about Ansel Adams
“Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.” – John Lennon
To “see” = to become more aware = to understand.
To “see” = gaining… awareness, understanding, perspective, perception, vision, insight, clarity, acknowledgment, acceptance, deliberately looking at the world through new lenses.
First, “seeing things” is about becoming intensely aware of yourself, others, and your surroundings.
Second, “seeing things” is about strategically communicating this raised awareness for personal and professional achievement.
My Photo-Flow & Philosophy:
1. Perceive → 2. Capture → 3. Process (3 specific steps; 4 specific questions to ask)
WHY? = the Pre-Production - the ”Vision” (what emotion do I want to capture)? What is my purpose?
WHAT? = the Subject(s)… natural or artificial?
HOW? = the Composition (when, where, light, angle, settings, perspective?) – the “Voice”
WHY? = the Post-Production – the “Voice” to make the ”Vision” a reality (again… what emotion do I want to capture?) What was my purpose?
There’s way more out there to “see” if you’re willing to really pay attention…
I pay attention. I’m encouraging you to as well.
Stay tuned-in…
