The more I go for walks in the countryside, the more I realise that the slower you take it, and the more your stop and look, the more you will see. (4 mores in one sentence – that can’t be good). Sometimes the landscape is just too big, to make a great photograph. Sometimes beauty is in the detail. Design is the same. It’s taking time to care about small details.
