(Camera: Ricoh GX200)The problem with seeing is not that it is too difficult. On the contrary, and paradoxically so, the problem is that seeing is too easy. We take it for granted, except for the less fortunate people who however are endowed with greater courage to live in a world of different senses.
But if we give what we see a second thought, how differently will the scenes impact on our thoughts or even our lives. Immediately, that will change the way a photographer frame and produce the final images.
Here, the author frame the scene to crop out the unrelated elements, hopefully making viewers to reflect on how possibly dangerous it can be to make a living. The composition was also done to create tension to make viewers reflect on the fact that serious accidents can happen in no time during a probably everyday activity of the man -- tidying up the boxes on the highway -- or of us, for that matter.
Another photographer may just pass by such common scenes in this part of the city. But once we overcome the habits of ordinary seeing, we will stop at things only we can see. There, with some techniques, your images will stand out among the others.
