I've found that pinholehole photography is a
terrific tool to that effect. Typically, the pinhole camera does not have
a viewfinder so that you have to truly previsualise your image before making the
exposure. Since it involves mostly slow emulsion (e.g. paper)
with very apertures (F/120 and above), appropriate exposure calculations
are essential too. All this requires a rather Zen attitude to image
captue (you just don't "shoot" a pinhole photograph). Something aking to
Emily's landscape photography. Of course, large format photography is also
a good way to "stop and see" rather than "shoot and run".

In this thread I've learned a few
things. The most important, since it works here on the forum and in
actual photography, slow down and think a little before hitting send or the
shutter button......
The first posting I sent to the list by
accident was in large part because I din't stop and look it over before
hitting send. The same thing with my reply to Kostas.
Regarding
the photography issue, I'll have to revert to some of the things I did in my
film days. Slow down and think about the picture . While this is
not possible 100% of the time it is a large part of the time.
To
paraphrase, "stop and see the roses".
