&lt;H3&gt;HT2472 - The YOU Who Photographs&lt;/H3&gt;
&lt;P&gt;When I go out photographing, I often begin with the sense that I need to shift mental gears from everyday thought to artmaking thought. I feel the need to begin the process of "seeing aesthetically." What does that actually mean? How is my aesthetic Self different than my ordinary self? Is it possible that my aesthetic self is simply more in touch with the rules and conventions that define the medium throughout history? If so, is it possible that "shifting gears to art making mode" is actually a barrier to creativity? &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
