Confucious' Advice About Photography

Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it.
—Confucius

Every thing has its beauty, but can it be photographed?

When I see something interesting—a golden leaf, textures on rock, deep gnarled bark—I walk circles around the area, look up at the sun, look at my watch, think about the seasons. After a few moments, I decide whether it can make a beautiful print. Sometimes I don't photograph the object.

Frequently, I come back.
