Photography — seeing as practice

The camera does not see for you — it records what you have already seen, which is why two photographers standing in the same place will return with different truths. Seeing as a practice is not a passive registering but an active disposition: the willingness to be stopped, to find the frame before pressing the shutter, to let the light or the face or the geometry be what it is rather than what you expected. Photography at its deepest is the practice of being fully present to the world as it is.
