Creativity is eternal and shouldn't be confused with creation. It does not improve with practice. Nothing about it can be owned, claimed, or held. What is genuinely creative moves when the artist is quiet or absent. When he loosens his grip, the work arrives of its own accord, as if from depths which surpass authorship. The artist does not necessarily create in any fundamental sense; his work is not evidence of specialness. Furthermore, he is created by the work. Creation seems to be a mere movement that uses people without sanctifying them.

Looking and seeing imply a desire to enter into something, to inhabit it. Yet too often this desire turns out to be mere curiosity, and even before crossing the threshold, we find ourselves helplessly on the outside, feeling somewhat sheepish, as reason has replaced both our senses and our spirits as the principal means of comprehending an elsewhere that has become colder and ever more remote. Photography mirrors this crisis of seeing, reproducing the distance between observer and observed. The world emits its own images before we ever attempt to capture them. Images are a way of looking (a viewing experience) rather than a true copy of reality as it is. Thus, what has become important is not the seeing but perhaps the observation of the instrument that is looking.
