While I think it is a good idea to go out photographing with intention, over the years I've also learned that not every series ends up as an interesting body of work unless you remain open minded. Or maybe a better way to put it is that your intention gets re-focused as you get deeper into the process, and your goals and concepts evolve. You refine your ideas based on the results you are getting. What I find fascinating is how well many of the early images you produce still align with your intent later on as your concept develops.
