There is an old Creole saying: Pigs don't look at the sky, there is nothing
in it for them.
Admission: On a recent trip to New York ( I don't get there much), ][<en
the Follicitor was naming buildings for me, when I had to interrupt: "What
is that great building over there?" He thought I was joking since it indeed
was the Empire State Building. Despite my visiting the interior of the
building as a kid and doing a brass inlay of its profile on an apartment
floor as a young man, it just didn't click in my head standing on the
street; An icon so big it was beyond recognition. Either that or early
Alzheimer's.. The point is the excitement of a fresh look. One of my
favorite teaching idioms to students of photography used to be: If you
think someone else can see it, look harder.
