Something about the way my brain processes visual stimulus generally causes me to see the world as a collection of color and shapes, detaching myself from the item’s subject.  I guess that’s probably why I appreciate abstract art so much - the artist is usually interpreting the world as color and shape without structure.  Some days are more prone to this phenomenon than others.  I’m not sure if it’s a mental-emotional thing, or the way the sunlight is on those days or a combination of the two.  This morning everything looked like geometry and color without consciously caring what the color and geometry in question was.  Since I had my camera I decided to try to capture a few photos that would illustrate the way I see the world on those days.  All of the items were inanimate objects; I saw a baby’s peach cheek that would have really demonstrated the point, but I thought his parents might find it odd if I came up and stuck a camera in their kid’s face.
