Same words, different melody

Matt Alofs tweeted about having just put new work up on Flickr. I went there, and saw this photo. It immediately made me think of my recent photo, shown above. Well, what it made me think was that I liked Matt’s photo better than mine.

This is amusing. I am not at all sure there’s a causal arrow, and if there is, I’m not sure what direction it might point, nor what it might mean. I’m certainly aware of being influenced by the photos made by other photographers. It’s difficult to imagine someone being influenced by mine, but I suppose it might happen.

But mostly it just made me laugh.
