Your vision will be influenced even by something as small as the amount of sleep you’ve gotten the night before.

Enjoyed the post as always.
Great insight on “vision”, new places and seeing things for what they are…

Aw, Maureen, you're so kind. *blushing* Thought of you in Italy often as I sat down with a glass of wine, camera in hand. Nice combination!

David – you say things so eloquently! 'Intention' is one of my favorite words – another is 'clarity'

Also, I still believe we need to talk about Vision in both micro and macro. Macro is our driving paradigm or worldview. Weltanschauung. It's the big frame through which we see life – it defines what we as individuals find beautiful, ugly, just, balanced, whatever. It defines the kinds of stories we want to tell, why we tell them, how we tell them and to whom. But there's also vision in micro. It's when you and I look through the same lens at the same thing and attempt to render a translation of a 3D world into 2D. You shoot it, look at the frame and think, No, that's not it. You try again. You shift to the left, you crouch down, you put on a 28mm instead of a 50mm. You frame it horizontally. Why are you doing this? Is it just a crap shoot, hoping to get lucky and shoot something that doesn't suck? Sometimes! But generally it's because you're trying to get that 3D world into a 2D frame IN A SPECIFIC WAY that resonates with your initial vision, even if you can't completely articulate it. You know it when you see it, you work it until you achieve it. That's vision in micro. Intention.

I like this post Matt – it reminds me to be more aware of not only why I am photographing something but also to be more aware of my 'context' i.e. the amount of sleep I had and how that affects my mood, my world view/life philosophy, my history etc.etc.
