I never mean labor, for the images I call “work”, rather it’s the output coming from your intent to frame a scene to the actual achievement of the promise as something real which can be experienced by you and approved or not, then, as in this case shared with us.
I like your work here, as I can look at my own collections of images, but all of them won’t move me as much as work that came from someone else’s “Cathedral of the Mind”. That means that an individuals “inner sanctum of their thoughts“ conspiring to choose a point of view under circumstances that cannot be ever be repeated
...and certainly I could never have imagined as I have a different set of preferences and experiences to draw on.
What your view does for me is challenge my own brain to tease our more “openness to new experience“ and see things in a new way.
Now likely as not, I cannot actually learn how you decided on what and how to take a picture.
Nevertheless, I can recognize that you do things differently enough from what might be fashionable or that gurus teach! So I can always Hope be stimulated by your work to think a little more freely, myself.
I hope my explanation makes sense to you.
