"A photographer...imposes an order on the scene - simplifies the jumble by giving it structure. He or she imposes this order by choosing a vantage point, choosing a frame, choosing a moment of exposure, and by selecting a plane of focus." Stephen Shore, The Nature of Photographs, p. 37
This is an interesting point though the language of this quote does not feel right to me. For me this process is less about imposing and more about learning to trust myself and letting my self to come through my photography, more about expressing myself and my views through the choice of vantage point, frame, exposure and a plane of focus.
