Unnecessary Information

You know what I like about photography?

You’re limited to this tiny field of view, but stuck with the fact that you can’t ignore anything inside it. There are no blind spots. No distractions. In real life it’s easy to look past something. Everything is moving and you’re trying to keep up. But a camera can’t squint when it looks into the sun. And that sense of unbiasedness forces you to be conscious of what you’re seeing. It makes you take responsibility because every little detail you can fit into that box for one half-second in time is going to be permanently stored forever.

Once you learn the difference between what your eyes see and what a camera sees, you can stop capturing moments and start creating them.

And that’s pretty awesome.
