the instructor on photography course said that you can take boring photos, but it’s worth capturing truly interesting phenomena

*he added that it was more his personal opinion, his own aesthetic preferences*

also recently, when i went for a walk with my bestie and said that the street we were walking down was super aesthetic, she didn’t see the vision 

as for me - when i go for a walk, i usually come back with a lot of photos. too many. there are just too many interesting things in the world. in my opinion, those 'boring photos' - for example, a picture of some random fire hydrant by a field - can actually be even more interesting. the viewer ends up staring at it, wondering 'what was the author trying to say?' or 'does this have some hidden meaning?' - 'why are there flowers growing only around this hydrant, but not farther away?' - and you can just sit there pondering over this stupid picture, and that’s the fun part
