A sunset is never the same. Is anything ever the same? Which is more beautiful? (great portfolio by the way!) Jesse,

Maybe secretly engineers and artists are the same. A sunset is never the same. Is anything ever the same? Which is more beautiful?

What you've written actually reminds me a lot of how I think. A lot of the time I'll look at a photo and think those things - am I using the right lens? am I portraying the subject the way he/she/it is or is this just where a random neural firing brought you to? etc. What you didn't mention which I think is important is that these things should be written down. It seems from the way you say you learn from these micro-experiments that perhaps you write stuff down, but I know I don't, and I think we should. Maybe we won't forget what we've learned, but writing is also a way for others to learn from us. I think it would be cool if someone a hundred years in the future stumbles across a collection of my thoughts and observations in a book and sees all the things I noticed that he/she hasn't, and also all the mistakes I made and even things I didn't see. And if you use a Moleskine then maybe your chances of becoming super-brilliant and famous will improve. ;) Very nice thoughts! What you’ve written actually reminds me a lot of how I think.
