I think that it does. Here’s why.

A big element of photography is looking for stories to tell. When you look long enough, it’s all you start to see.

For example, let’s say you’re sitting in a restaurant. You’re eating that godly bean burrito. You don’t think to look for those stories.

Now, they may not do it intentionally, but when they look around, a story will catch a photographer’s eye.

Why is this? Why does a photographer see the world this way? Think about how you learned to walk.

You started out falling on your face, but you tried over and over again until it was something you just, did.

When you look for stories for a long time, it becomes something you just, do.
