My apologies for not making myself clear.

The paradox for me is at least two fold.  I cannot represent
what I see as well as I see it, either because I have to
concentrate on a portion of it to try to bring out one of the
qualities of what I see or the medium is not capable of
reproducing at least one of the qualities I want to show.  

Secondly, the very act of trying to produce a representation of
what I am seeing interferes with my viewing of the
scene/phenomenon/whatever.

I suspect that the second is the more important; it is certainly
the reason a number of people have given to me for not being
interested in photography.
