"The magic of photography is metaphysical. What you see in the photograph isn’t what you saw at the time. The real skill of photography is organized visual lying." - 365 Project, Day 106

Once again, I have a slight headache, though, again, I do have a small thought.  It's on the other side of the coin as yesterday's thought.

Give me two photographers.  One that likes a certain subject - say, food - and one that is indifferent, both of equal skill.  Will the photographer with a passion's photographs be more special, or show a special quality lacking from the other photographer's photos?  Not as interesting a thought, as it's less personal, but still an interesting query.

My note: I would have preferred this as a low ISO picture where you can see all the details in the paint peeling, but I realised that if I would have taken this during the day, the contrast difference would have given me a fair bit of chromatic aberrations with this camera.  I like the grainy look, though.

The next couple of days will be very relaxed.  I will promise you that right now.
