This approach I understand jmpTT...
When I was just starting out I looked for the "big news item", but over time I realized that I missed the "everyday photos"... the workplace, the home, school... that whole segment of photos that I had considered too mundane at the time. Not a regret, but somehow a gap.
I like shooting with a macro lens... not necessarily tiny objects, but isolated snippets of life.
Thanks for the comment.

I went to "Piazza dei Miracoli" and didn't take a photograph...
Actually I have never been to Pisa, it's all a story... based on a recent exchange with 'cazalea' about visiting famous tourist spots and the overwhelming urge NOT to take a photograph. Credit: Martin Parr In a Thursday Quote thread in "TimeOut" I posted ...
LMFAO xD
Yes. In L.A. that means proactively NOT taking photos at any of the overwhelmingly over-hyped locations, most notably any related to the business of Hollywood, including actors/actresses themselves xD. I have by now seen a considerable number of them, som...
When I lived in LA I used Burbank Airport for at least two round trips a week for work...
and ran into buku "stars", also around awards time... I must say I was awed by Bob Hope, but like you no photos... this was way (way-way) before smart phones. I finished "... A Guide for the Perplexed" with copious notes and about 40% into "Conquest of th...
Totally get it,
I wrote down notes from that Mindscape interview I shared and have yet to take a few hours to return to them and examine on a more subjective level some of the implications and possible actions toward some degree of success with artificial moral agents . ...
I may have a photo of the Eiffel Tower from a distance...
Needless to say I didn't go up the tower... I have been up Tokyo Tower and it's worthy... particularly at dusk. I must say that I have always been fascinated by the Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile and on my last visit to Paris (~2009) I made the climb and was...
On the contrary, I can't see it (from my balcony) but I like my few photos of it
New Year's Eve 2010 I have not climbed it though, I have no interest in doing that. Mike ...
Beautiful... and nice angle
The last time I was in Paris there was a huge TV screen on the tower showing some sports event... I felt it showed no sense of taste at all ; ) Casey
It's DIfferent When You're Older
In my BI years (BI - Before Internet) I took photographs to document where I had been and on rare occasions open photo albums for the memories of times and places. With digital photography there was not so much to lug around and storage became easier. If ...
Beautiful old photo Uncle Chico...
Love that color and look... So true about new "norms"... 70 is the new 50 and Green is the new Black ; ) I might have a photo of Big Ben in the archives from the late 1960s when my younger brother and I went to London and Paris... we visited Carnaby Stree...
My Two Favorite Photos of Pisa 1998
Outside the Duomo On the banks of the Arno I have the same urge to capture the off-beat. ...
"On the banks of the Arno" does it for me...
I enjoy photos that touch on the off-beat with a human nature slant... you can read volumes into that second photo, or just sit back and enjoy the scene... it has that kind of energy. Casey
I like to take less goal-oriented photographs
Things like food displays, menu boards, scenes around tourist attractions. People going about their business. Families playing in a park. Cars parked along the street. Store signs. Internet cafes. As the years pass, many years, you may appreciate the most...
