In Freeman Patterson’s book, Photography and the Art of Seeing, Patterson wrote, "Preoccupation with self is the greatest barrier to seeing, and the hardest one to break". This sentence stood out to me because it is so true. I know that I tend to focus on things that seem important at the time, but in the process I miss the simple beauties that are all around me. I hadn't realized how much I had been just looking at things and not really seeing them. Patterson sees the world in a different way than I do. After reading his views, I have become more aware of the simple beauties in the world around me.
This is really insightful!
