All photographers make choices,
whether it's how you frame something on Instagram, what kind of camera you use,
what kind of print you make, how you share that picture.
>> The power of photography is way more complicated than people admit to.
You have to learn to understand how images are constructed.
>> I got into photography because I wanted to know something that other
people didn't know.
What makes a single image important any more?
How do you make that image that people are going to run to museums for?
>> What is it about me?
What are we bringing to this photograph?
>> I think you have to contend with a lot and that is a very worthwhile experience.
>> When you think of photographs as processes, not as products,
you start really understanding what they really mean.
>> How's the process different?
>> I want it to be not about grabbing the moment, but
about dancing with the moment, collaborating with the moment.
>> Can you see what I see?
>> No. No one else can see it.
>> [LAUGH] >> You can stop something and
look at it in a way that you normally wouldn't see it, and
I think that's part of the real fascination with still photography.
It lets you step outside yourself to kind of look at the world in a different way.
Okay, so it's going to be half a second.
