WM-483: Searching for Meaning | Photography Clips Podcast

Searching for meaning is something that most of us photographers do almost by default. After all, that's the point of creating artwork, isn't it? To create something meaningful that resonates with the people who enjoy it. And that's why we spend so much time talking about how to imbue our photographs with meaning. Here is perhaps another way to look at or to approach that search for meaning. As I said, this is something that most of us do sort of automatically as part of the creation process—but when we're searching for ideas or photographs to take in the field, we're also usually searching for other things beyond meaning. We might be looking for beautiful objects or looking for things that fit a theme we happen to be working on. For some of us, at times, the objective is to search out new things that no one has ever photographed before. In this way, the search for meaning almost becomes an accessory to the rest rather than the primary focus of what we've set out to do on a given day. Perhaps instead of searching for the next new thing, things to fit our themes, or things of particular beauty, we should focus the whole of our search on meaning alone...
