In Italy trainee detectives are taken to museums to look at paintings. They're told to study them and to try to deduce what the meaning might be . Symbolic clues hint to the those meaning eg the skull represents mortality. It's a lesson in observation that will aid the trainee detectives in their work
I took the picture in my last post in London. I took what I saw for granted, I wasn't really sure it was worth capturing but things look different when photographed. On studying the picture at home my eyes gazed around the screen at the people I'd captured, I went round and around a few times. I then came to the small boy in the background and noticed he was looking at or calling out to something, so I followed his eyeline and there hidden in the bush like a flower, was the answer.
A little spooky. Nobody who's seen it has spotted it, it's demonstrated to me how people tend to look over rather than in to pictures.
