Photography & the Art of Seeing - Barriers to Seeing entry.

I was at one my photo groups annual picnics at a state park and was photographing a fern. A friend was attending with a quest and the quest was asking why I was photographing a simple fern. I did hit him or reach for his neck, but tried to explain about the patterns and how the light was doing wonderful things. He walked still shaking his head as he could not see what was there.
