How do we know what we know? Is seeing believing? Is believing seeing?

Listen carefully. The way(s) we speak about things is revealing.

We see the world through our experience.

The most important question is, 'Am I asking the most important question?' The second most important question is, 'Am I asking the most important question in the most important way?'

Many times we are tempted to defer to the documents we create, rather than the direct experiences we have.

We are the strongest filter we can place before the lens. We point the lens both outward and inward.

Very often there is too little information in photographs to deduce how they were made and even what they represent. We rely on context and supplemental information to confirm our observations, not simply the documents themselves.
