Thinking outside the Box
Photography OCD
A somewhat healthy obsession with photography

Intriguing shot. It begs the question – Who is Cody Jackson?

My guess is one of the farmers that supplies this market. Sunday here in Lancaster is great because a lot of things are closed and I get to wander around looking for inspiration.

Ah …but, some boxes have bigger spaces between slats allowing one to see more. Nice shot.

I was thinking about making a shot about living in the box (of course, this is due to the move), now I’m here and see your post 😀
It seems, I start thinking a bit like you or it’s just a coincidence.

Maybe you’re just getting ideas Alena. It was not an easy thing to find a stack of wood boxed like this in good light, they kind of found me. 🙂

I just wanted to say (maybe I was wrong in using this phrase) that not just this found you but you did it.

I realized that with Google Translate I don’t have to learn it, hows this: Мне нравится фотография, потому что она держит меня вне бара.

Google translate works rather good, comparing with how it worked some years ago. But it’s always hard to translate idioms. I use multitran.com for this though I think there are better vocabularies.

Love the quote, Mike. Actually our mind can have many boxes or compartments. I liked the box with the diagonal line the most and the Cody box second. My eye roams to whatever looks different. 🙂

“The mode of comprehension outside the box is intuition; and the mode of expression outside the box is inspiration. These are the modes of real intelligence.” Yes! Thanks for the link, Mike. I’ve read other material in the same vein of thought.

You’re welcome Olga. It does have an Eckhart Tolle feel but that’s because they’re all writing about the same basic things. Now if I could square a circle…

Deepak Chopra gets into witnessing the self as a thinker also, to gain enlightenment. Can’t square a circle, but you can change a circle into an octagon to fit into the square. Learned that recently concerning architectural geometry of fitting a circular dome onto a square building.

I think the witness is a Buddhist thing, although the idea of a self is completely different. No self-no problem, another highly recommended book.
