Putting a camera to my eye changes not only what I see through the lens but also changes the way I see when I’m not.

Something as simple as shallow depth of field is hard to describe to anyone who has not looked through lens or seen it in a photograph yet it’s there all the time in everywhere we look waiting to be seen.

Even a can or two of soft drink ‘Lift’ sitting on the fence take on new appeal.

Thirsty?
