It is not enough to photograph the obviously picturesque.
You put your camera around your neck along with putting on your shoes, and there it is, an appendage of the body that shares your life with you. The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.
To know ahead of time what you're looking for means you're then only photographing your own preconceptions, which is very limiting, and often false.
