How Do We See?

A fact about photographers is that they all "see" differently.  I know many excellent photographers who take photographs that I would never take.  I just don't "see" those scenes the way they do.  Their images are wonderful, but just not me.

Even a single photographer can see a scene several different ways.  The photographs I share today are all of the same flower.  They were taken at the same time, within seconds of each other.  Yet, they are very different. The differences are in the way I processed the photos on the computer.  Changing the exposure, changing the size, changing the light, all of these can make the image different.

You may like one photo more than the others.  You may not like any of them. You may like all of them.  That depends on how you see them.

We are like that in the way we see others too.  We meet someone and almost immediately we make a judgement about that person.  We may find them warm and friendly or cold and crass.  Most of that evaluation is based on our thoughts, not their real personality.

How do you see?

Having eyes, do you not see?

And having ears, do you not hear?

And do you not remember,
