Even though I have Roger blocked, I can still choose to see his responses and as per the usual, he is letting the literal get in the way of the artistry because as a non-photographer, he doesn't understand it.
It is not about fishing, hence the title, "When the Fish Don't Bite," it is about what the fisherman does while waiting. Thus the context of his surroundings becomes as important as the fisherman. This was always about patience. Next to photographers, fishermen are among the most patient people in the world. For them, it's about waiting for the right tides, watching what fish are coming through and when and what baits they'll take and the right lures and...on and on and on...They watch and they wait, and when they can, they sit for a spell. For me, it was about waiting for the light, it was about positioning myself so the reflected light off the support pillar behind me wasn't casting my shadow across the scene, it was about calculating fore, middle and background light to the best possible exposure and calculating how much PP I might have to do to even out that lighting...it was about creation, not about words.
Until Roger can show me something he has shot along these lines, treating the light with the same respect as the subject, and thus promoting a situational dialogue based on actual work, I will continue to ignore pretty much anything he has to say.
