Slow Look

  1. The whole picture Let your eyes wander. Where do they want to rest?
  2. The light Find the brightest spot. What is it showing you?
  3. The edges Look at what is half cut off at the borders.
  4. One small detail Choose one tiny thing and stay with it for a while.
  5. The whole picture again Step back. Has it changed for you?
