Stuck on the Fan and Seeing Clearly

















Actually, I'm not 'stuck' on the fan.  It becomes a challenge to photograph the same subject over and over. Its a very good exercise to help you see more creatively.  I feel that I've now pretty much exhausted the fan, so I'll probably try one or two more days with it. Just to push the envelope.

Back in college, I loved driving home after Drawing class.  Because, after spending a couple hours concentrating intensely on every edge and shadow of the subject, I began to notice everything.  Driving home, every shadow, gentle slope of the land, fence post - every edge seemed much more acute.  Its almost a surreal state of vision.  Well, Tuesday, I had the same experience - after concentrating on my "Fan" pictures.  Its very nice to have that experience again after so long.
