HT2605 - What Is vs What Becomes

LensWork - Photography and the Creative Process

The fundamental characteristic of photography is that it shows us what is, the instant that is.

Does it make any sense for us to challenge ourselves to introduce some of that into our photography? Isn't this one of the advantages of the multi-image project?
