Dissolution of Consciousness

"Seeing is perception 
with the original, 
unconditioned eye. 
It is a state of consciousness 
in which separation of 
photographer/subject, 
audience/image dissolves; 
in which a reality beyond words 
and concepts opens up, 
whose "point" or "meaning" is 
the direct experience itself."

"We look at the world and 
see what we have learned to 
believe is there. 
We have been 
conditioned to expect... 
but, as photographers, 
we must learn to relax our beliefs...
if you look very intensely and slowly, 
things will happen that you 
never dreamed of before.”
