Art is to present vision first, not expression first.
Vision in art is to reveal our insight - inner sight,
our seeing the world and life.
Thus art is not an object but experience.
To be able to perceive it we need to be receptive.
Therefore art is there where art seizes us.
Josef Albers

Photographers tend not to photograph what they can't see, which is the very reason one should try to attempt it. Otherwise we're going to go on forever just photographing more faces and more rooms and more places. Photography has to transcend description. It has to go beyond description to bring insight into the subject, or reveal the subject, not as it looks, but how does it feel?
- Duane Michals
