In other words, having grown up at the edge of the rain forest might have made me (or anyone else) more aware of the little vignettes within the forest? I think this might be possible, because if I go to street-shooting mode, I can NEVER get the same types of images as someone who has spent a lot of time in the city streets. |
Well I don't know. I grew up in the woods and have been in the woods all my life. I own 200 acres of woods behind my house. I was a logger when I was younger. I think I'm too familiar with it and just take it for granted with out noticing. |
Hard to ascertain what one person sees, and another does not. I've gone out with inidividuals who have never been to the rain forest, and they have shown me many images that were far superior to mine.
Speaking of logging: I set chokers for a summer in high school. VERY hard, and quite dangerous work. I onlyl weighed about 150 at the time, and was exhausted for the first two weeks, then finally got in the "groove" of things. But, the next summer came and I said...no thanks!
