Simplicity
Question:
The idea of very simple images has always attracted me. But , sometimes I'm not sure if I'm making a simple image or just a truncated frame that possibly should include more. Is there a way to know for sure?
Answer:
You need to reflect on the perception itself. Does the image faithfully form the equivelent of what you saw? That's the only test that matters. If you've shot only part of the perception because you thought that would make a better image, you are not forming a faithful equivelant.

The Book
“This is not your usual ‘how to be a better photographer’ book. It takes you into deeper water. It requires investigation and commitment to areas new to you. Among other things, you will think about perception in new ways. If you read this book with care, and without skepticism, it will radically expand your thinking, seeing, and photography.”
—Jay Maisel, photographer
and author of Light on America
