“It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter, because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the ordinary.”
David Bailey (English fashion Photographer, b.1938)
I tagged along while my lovely wife did some shopping last weekend, and partially because I am constantly seeking extraordinary experiences out of the ordinary (!), and partially because I was bored, I unholstered my trusty iPhone and searched for the meaning of life.
