Sometimes I photograph without looking through the viewfinder. I have mastered that well enough, it is almost as if I were looking through it.
For me, looking at small images somehow recreates the experience of looking through a viewfinder.... At this size they're edible. You don't just scan them. You take them in all at once.
The way I'm used to telling a story is by looking through the viewfinder and being really close to the actors.
Looking through the viewfinder for me is like being in a movie theater. That's what I like about it.
A man who is seeking for realization is not only going around searching for his spectacles without realizing that they are on his nose all the time, but also were he not actually looking through them he would not be able to see what he is looking for!
People aren't really looking at the result when taking a picture on an iPhone. And they don't print it. So to me, it's almost not a photograph. It's like looking in the mirror. It's a tool I don't relate to at all.
Without going outside, you may know the whole world, without looking through the window, you may see the ways of heaven. The farther you go, the less you know. Thus the sage knows without traveling; he sees without looking; he works without doing.
Through all of youth I was looking for you without knowing what I was looking for
Sunsets are so beautiful that they almost seem as if we were looking through the gates of Heaven.

When I got on my first set, I watched what the cinematographer was doing, and at that level in film school, the cinematographer has the most control. They're the one looking through the viewfinder, carrying the camera, framing the shots.
The digital process gives me total control over how I want the film to look. The films look like they did when I was first looking through the viewfinder.
Looking, Walking, Being, I look and look. Looking's a way of being: one becomes, sometimes, a pair of eyes walking. Walking wherever looking takes one. The eyes dig and burrow into the world. They touch, fanfare, howl, madrigal, clamor. World and the past of it, not only visible present, solid and shadow that looks at one looking. And language? Rhythms of echo and interruption? That's a way of breathing. breathing to sustain looking, walking and looking, through the world, in it.

I didn't really know what I was looking at when I first came across Man Ray's 'Dust Breeding,' his photograph of a work by Marcel Duchamp called 'Large Glass.' It looked like an aerial photograph or a view through a microscope.
Writing an autobiography, usually thought of as a looking back, can just as well be a looking across or through, with the passing of time giving an X-ray quality to the eye.
