subject matter
Question:
Can subject matter be a framework where I can have direct experiences of perception? Such as 'color' or 'texture'. If the subject matter is for example 'my neighbourhood' or 'street life' and I am going in town to take photographs, I can experience flashes of perception, isn't it? I find it very difficult to have these flashes without a framework.
Answer:
Sure it can. As long as your are shooting your perceptions, the images will be fresh. If you try to shoot your ideas of your "neigbours" they will not be.

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
