to see the world like a photograph—like how we read the news

my mate and i settled on doing this a while back

as we see the world—our world—my mates childrens and grandchildrens worlds

to not develop opinions or judgments

at all

but to see the world like a photograph—or to see the world like the news is supposed to see (just the facts)

to perceive it and not judge it

i find a contrast between writing and photography this way

writing can be perceiving and not judging (it can be somewhat like a photograph) but i find the selection of points of view in writing to be more complex than the selection of points of view in photography

and because of this its easier (for me) to be non-judging when photographing than it is (for me) when writing

so were choosing to see life like a photograph—like the news (is supposed to be)

this makes for less turmoil

less argument

and simpler discussions
