In a split second of vision, what the eyes say is beautiful or interesting, that is what I try to capture in a photograph. The brain computes the signal: "this is something good." It may be attractive or ugly, a composition of three similar objects, or a stark contrast between foreground and background. I then try to get just what the eyes signaled was photo-worthy. This idea of what to shoot is similar to what Flaubert, the French novelist, called le mot juste (the exact word). By that he meant: write down the literary image in the exact words in which the original inspiration was clothed in coming from the brain. Transposed to photography, that means the exact image, with bounderies and depth.
