Project 2: Your mind as a cognitive camera

So Project One didn't take long. Here is Project Two:

"Imagine that you have a camera inside your head and that your eyes are the shutter."

Here we are supposed to learn to look for opportunities for good photographs and to be subjective about when to snap the shutter.

To illustrate his point, Mr. Easterby gives an example like this:
"Try to spot interesting photographic scenes, such as this horizon through the plane window."

I'm sure you are saying, "Well isn't that what photography is?"

The answer is yes. But unfortunately, most people don't seem to know the difference between the horrid little snap shots they take with their cell phones and post on the internet and "photography".
