THE ART of SEEING

Here are some snippets from the monthly column I write for Digital Camera Magazine. The basic premise is to write about an image from my personal practice  in a way that focuses more on WHY I made a photograph than how. It is more about ideas, motivation, creativity and seeing than apertures and shutter speeds etc.
