Other eyes

No viewer sees the same thing. Even my own eyes are other eyes. What I experience when making a photograph is a place in time. What I see is a portion of that place contained within the camera. But I do not see the final permanent image; I can only visualise it. The transparency is what the film sees. Only later, when the transparency is processed, do I see a fixed image, and then I am a new viewer the same as you.
