While other art forms involve “creating” something extraordinary, photography is interested more in “seeing” something extraordinary. Other art forms actively avoid the ordinary, while photography embraces it because it understands that there’s always more that meets the eye. The world moves way too fast for us to discern anything meaningful at a quick glance.

Other art forms exist within the artist’s own imagination, while photography has no such constraint and thus is open to seeing things far more mysterious than anything our minds could ever contrive. This world is an elusive emanation of the divine. Photography therefore allows us to catch glimpses of the eternal, and albeit just glimpses, it’s a kind of art that speaks not to our imagination, but to our soul.
