The basic principle of photography from that point of view is viewing things as they are in their own ordinary nature. It is very simple and direct. We should be prepared to see how we can present a picture or concept in our minds. Can we do it or not? The obvious answer is that we can do it. However, we actually should be willing to see a particular vision without expectation or conceptualization. We should have the perspective of being willing to take any kind of good old, bad old shot. The whole point is that we should be extremely careful and inquisitive about what we see in our world: what we see with our eyes, what we actually perceive, both how we see and what we see. This is very important.
