Photographers don’t look at things. They look at the light on things. Try it for one day.

Much of what makes a scene worth looking at is not the objects but what is happening to them. Light shifts hour by hour, and once you start tracking it, ordinary things you have walked past for years begin to look worth stopping for. This is not a special eye. It is knowing where to aim attention.

Spend one day watching light rather than things. Where it lands in the kitchen at eight, how it moves along a corridor, what the street looks like an hour before sunset. No camera required for it to change something.
