Show Notes
In this episode, I explore the shift from searching for photographs to truly seeing. Searching narrows attention and demands explanation. Seeing allows uncertainty, patience, and quiet relationships to emerge. I talk about photographs that resist clarity, images that stop explaining themselves, and why those unresolved moments often hold the most lasting resonance. This episode reflects on attention, editing, and the value of staying with what does not immediately make sense.

What do you want me to look at and notice?
We are up to episode 603 of the Perceptive Photographer podcast, and this week we are going all meta meta on how to make projects.
In this week’s episode, we’re gonna be talking a little bit about questions and asking the correct questions. Before we jump into the nuts and bolts of the week, just a couple of quick reminders: first, I’ve got a book club that’s running, so you can join that by clicking on the book club link from the workshops and classes section of my website. Also, save the date: November 5 for a lecture I’ll be presenting at the Photographic Center Northwest on ” Does a Landscape Speak, and How Do We Listen? It’ll be free to anyone who registers; it will be a great time.
