Excellent article Kevin - it beautifully explores one of the primary functions of photography, to help us see what we may otherwise overlook or ignore, and the beauty in it. Well done.
My sentiments exactly; excellent article and images. This has been my way of photographing for some time. Photograph not only what you came for, but what is not always obvious in a scene, such as patterns, shapes, light, everything that strikes you or comes to mind. Sometimes scenes creep into your consciousness as you are looking at other subjects. The more you do this, the more things will appear to you, not just the obvious.
