I Only Need the Sky

Every once in a while, I let the "secret" of my vision leak out.  I have monocular vision.  In short, I don't have any depth perception.  Both eyes work — they just don't work together.   And as the doctors always tell folks like me, "If we didn't tell you, most people would never know it."

As far as photography is concerned, what it means is that the two-dimensionality of a photograph doesn't bother me.  That's the way I see all the time.  I don't need a foreground in a scenic shot to give me that three dimension sense of depth — because I don't have it.  But I've learned over the years that most people want it.  Oh well.

I got tired of working around all the trees blocking my view of any foreground element you might want.  I only need the sky.  So that is what I shot.
