To compose a subject well means no more than to see and present it in the strongest manner possible.
Edward WestonNow one does not think during creative work: any more than one thinks when driving a car. One has a background of years โ learning โ unlearningโ success โ failure โ dreaming โ thinking โ experience โ back it goes โ farther back than one's ancestors: all this, โ then the moment of creation, the focussing of all into the moment. So I can make โ "without thought" โ fifteen carefully-considered negatives one every fifteen minutes, โ given material with as many possibilities.
