How do I see Photography?

Some photographs insist that we reflect on what has been in plain sight all along. In so doing, we are confronted by our habits and our tendencies to assume that we know what things look like.

But looking again, and again, and yet again always seems to reveal something new, doesn’t it?

Hello, I’m Tony Cearns

What remains after the tide has gone out, after a long and fruitful life?

I’m a postgraduate research student in Philosophy, with an interest in Wittgenstein and Whitehead. To paraphrase Richard Strauss, "I may not be a first-rate philosopher, but I am a first-class second-rate philosopher."

I’ve served on the boards of several organisations in manufacturing, financial services, education and the arts sector, including being a trustee of the Royal Photographic Society and the Open Eye Gallery.

Here I show some photographs and share photo-essays. I also write a blog on substack: detangling Dementia’ - and also on substack a blog about photography.
