Best Practice #5 – Pre-Visualize More [Photo Index : 1:5] [Community Contribution Set Of Poems]

To look and see or just to look,
Is question asked in photo books;
To see ahead of being there
Is best of all – you’ll be prepared.

Look at the world from in the world;
From Kingdom-layer watch it swirl;
See from Christ Jesus’ point of view
(That is, when Jesus lives in you).

Zone system (used in black and white),
“Pre-visualized” inspired our sight –
Not sight as such, but sight as film –
Within the limits of its realm.

Brain theory says it’s mind that sees,
Not eyes – they scan, catch data – these
Small data-sets are fed to brain,
Where world is built back up again.

So we’re involved in seeing things –
A fresh translation each view brings
Into awareness – visualize
Ahead of time – low need for eyes.

Our colored world is personal –
Each shade and tint we know quite well,
Which can be different from our friends –
For there’s where common vision ends.

To research first can open eyes,
Or close them down – we pre-despise
The things abhorrent to our taste –
Go take a look – no way that’s waste.

Our photos self-reveal, of course –
The things we shoot; what’s shot with force;
The things left out; the scenes that sway
Our hearts and minds each dawning day.

Thanks Lord for this.
