That's gotta be a good thing!
I've been mulling over something ...
I started off looking at pictures hoping to find somthing to say about them ...
I now find my self looking at pictures in a much more indepth manner ... No nessasarily looking for somthing to say, just looking closer at pictures!
I've found this quite beneficial, I get more out of all sorta of imagery since being a member here ... And not just photos, films, graphic design, type set ... Eye candy basically! I think it's probably beneficial to me in quite a lot of ways...
I'd actually say this is probably one of the biggest things this forum has done for me, and I'm most chuffed about it!
There is even a lot that bothers me less, if I saw this picture a year ago, I know I would have been bugged by the lamp, but now I just see it as a part of the shot ... It's hard to explain without it sounding like I'm still bothered by the lamp... But I'm not, it's there because it's there!
Same went for some modern buildings in a picture of a church Davie posted ... There because they are there ... Does that make any sence?
One way or another, it's actually made photography easier for me, both to create and observe ... But less good at being critical ... I'm not sure if thats good or bad really?
