He discusses how his photographic practice makes him observe the world with heightened attention. Reflecting on his series American Surfaces (1972-2005) and Uncommon Places (1987-2003), he describes his goal of composing photographs in a way that “feels like seeing.” Related ideas: Robert Frank on photographing the everyday: https://youtu.be/9kMwnmrL5FM John Baldessari tries to remove himself from his photography: https://youtu.be/UCnzsLhER7g
