If one includes what Adams termed "previsualization" in the phenomenology of the photographer when behind the camera, then it certainly gets more complicated. I think the conclusion is the same, but more now the post exposure "making" becomes an activity of attempting through darkroom/lightroom magic of *reproducing* the artist's previsualized phenomena during composition and shutter snapping in the mind of the viewer. A simpler corrolary would be that what the making *photographer* "sees" during composition and previsualization is NOT what the simple, unconscious taking *viewfinder* "sees".
