One of the most important things I've learned as a photographer is to slow down when looking at images. I've become so used to scanning visuals, from channel surfing to surfing the net, when I come upon photographs that ask me to look more closely I have to physically slow myself down. The most recent example for me are Barbara Bosworth's photographs now on exhibit here at SAAM.

And take your time. Your datebook is blank. (I've canceled all your appointments for the rest of the day.)
