I have lots of ideas; some turn out to be good ones, others not so.
What seems to determine their standing at the time is their clarity in my mind.
What seems to determine their failure is the lack of clarity of the observer.
I am doomed to failure as long as I persist in presenting my ideas to others.
It also follows that every idea I have is a good one until I tell someone.
When photographing, I have a constant flow of ideas; some borrowed, some, presumably my own and original, others of indeterminate origin.
Perhaps this is the nature of what we do. Ideas are what we are. Thoughts are not separate entities from ourselves.
Actions or reactions that follow determine what the outcome will be.
We try our best at presenting our ideas. From there we have no control. We are in the hands of the perceiver.
One must choose their audience wisely.
