The WRUW thread should be taken very lightly in my view.
Unlike most other places where I offer up any sort of reaction, I try not to think as I scroll through the WRUW thread. If I am forced to analyze what I do - please don't force me analyze.
Thank you.
But . . .
If I do think about it at all, sometimes I am "liking" the watch; but sometimes I am "liking" the context . . . even though the watch itself may not move me. Sometimes I "like" the photography technique as I imagine that the poster may be going for an effect. Maybe the guy has an equity position in Duncan Donuts, for example?
Sometimes I am moved by the the way the subject is lit. Lighting is so important in photography. At other times I like the elements of the composition - the way the poster put things together whether by design or accident. It hardly matters when the result is artistic or artful . . . and satisfying.
One thing I try very hard not to do is
think about anything while I am perusing the WRUW thread.
It's Zen. It's the finger pointing at the moon. If your monkey mind does not get it; no worry. The rest of us will pick up the slack.
