On Staring #5

"The question is not what you look at, but what you see." - Henry David Thoreau
Okay. So it is a bit of a pithy, overused quote, but really, when it comes to thinking about making films, is there a better aphorism to think on? Bresson can throw up a couple I am sure, but this is always my touchstone when things fall apart.

Ok. Bresson has returned to mind as a challenger:

"Make visible what, without you, might perhaps never have been seen." - Robert Bresson
