The title of this project parapharases the well known credo of the mathematician/number theorist Arnold Ross: “To think deeply of simple things.” What could be simpler than counting? Yet the depth and complexity of the relationships among numbers belie such apparent simplicity. Similarly, to look and photograph deeply requires focused attention on subjects that lend themselves to a complex interpretation. I am fascinated when a photograph suggests something entirely unexpected so that complexities emerge and meanings broaden. Such photographs are maps to the kinds of possibilities available in an image. The photographs that comprise this project don’t necessarily conform to the usual expectation that a set of artist’s pictures will be about related subject matter and have a coherent theme as do most of the other projects viewable on this website. Rather, they are related by an idea about a way of seeing, of giving deep attention to the possibilities for understanding and interpreting a photograph.
