It is not unknown for me to misunderstand people...
I might humbly suggest you do so while listening to music. You
might find such an experience fascinating...
Heh. Unfortunately, I'm one of those people that has a hard time
concentrating on much of anything else if I'm listening to music I
enjoy.
Well, you couldn't know if you wouldn't try...
...
So, there were several aspects to the photo that if someone else had
done them, I didn't know about them. To me, creative means doing
something someone else hasn't. Synonymous with innovative. Mind
you, innovation and artistic merit are completely orthogonal vectors.
Some people do beautiful work that is completely derivative of other
people's work, and some of us produce completely original crap.
That's immensely fascinating. I would say that creative for me is
something that I haven't done in the past. I wouldn't really care if
this was done before or if what I am trying is derivative. First I would
have to learn how to do it and only then see if I can do anything
interesting or worthy myself.
So I am not looking for global innovation really, but rather for
personal one.
That is something I would certainly enjoy, though a trip 12 time
zones away is so far beyond my current budget we might as well plan
on a photographic outing to the ISS. However, if you do find
yourself within a couple of timezones of me again, I might be more
likely to arrange meeting you there for some serious shooting, or
even some frivolous photography.
Well, to travel 12 time zones horizontally (assuming the Earth is flat,
naturally) and doing so vertically may have entirely different impact on
your bank account, sir :-). I am offering you a far easier option...
And that goes without saying that if I will be doing the horizontal
travel again, I will let you know :-).
