I don't know what I'm taking pictures of...

...the high school student said as he walked out of the room on the way to take photographs as part of an exercise at the Visual Arts Scholastic Event (VASE). How good to hear that!

Too often we (all of us) walk in the world expecting to see what we expect, instead of admitting not knowing. The beauty is in the not knowing, in the constant attentiveness, in the curiosity, in the lack of pre-conceived ideas. Spontaneous seeing, hearing, feeling...sensing...is the key to many doors.
