“What do you see?”
Sunday morning in Austin, killing a bit of time before I have to head to the airport. I see this stripe in this parking lot and like how it looks with that tent way back there, by the alley. As I stand up, after taking the picture, a pedestrian stops, looks toward the same stripe, parking lot, tent, and says, “What do you see?” I try to explain, but even I can tell that my explanation seems lame. He’s unconvinced of my artistic vision, but I can tell that he may be convinced of my lack of good sense.
I get that a lot.

Not everyone has a “photographer’s eye”.

That’s true – but I wasn’t very articulate in my explanation to the pedestrian!

I see one of those email pictures that show lazy paint crews painting everything they see!

Yes! Like dead armadillos and orphaned shoes and beer cans, right?

Is photographic sense anything at all like good sense?

In my case, it’s the OPPOSITE of good sense. I can’t speak for anyone else, though I am have certain…uh…suspicions.
