Yesterday I took a workshop in "contemplative photography."
Our instructor said that we were to get away from "conceptual photography" about people, places, or things, and be open to an awareness of textures and colors. Now, no one has ever accused me of being artistic, and so I wasn't sure how well I'd do in this. I did learn something, however, and I'd like to pass it on. It is an observation by professional photographer Dorothy Lange:
"The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera."
