I've been corresponding with a friend in England who has recently acquired a camera. She told me yesterday: "What I've noticed since I've had the camera is that EVERYTHING is beautiful; nothing is ordinary or drab." Sometimes the lens allows us to take one step back from reality and by allowing us to isolate a scene or an item, it allows us to really see it with new eyes.
