Perspective

Couple of days ago I realized I "see" things better when I take a photo of it and load it on computer and view. Basically I am referring to my art projects I work on. I had a serious stall on this one project I have been working on and should have submitted several months ago. Yes, that's right. Months ago. I have been slowly piddling with it the past few weeks, entertaining myself with other things in the meantime. Long story short, I long ago decided that said piece "just wasn't speaking to me" you know all this arty stuff is personal and has to talk to you. It's a form of self expression.
So, yesterday I decide to trash project and start over, after once again photographing and trying to diagnose what was wrong with it. My brain isn't wired correctly, that's a given. I lack depth perception and have problems with spatial relationships. I imagine in my lack, that by duplicating the image and viewing it secondarily, I gain a different perspective. It works for me. Today I stripped project down to base and started to redo, thoughtlessly lost in the process (and jamming to Dave Matthews) and am half done and much happier. Revisiting the perspective problem and question.....what else do we look at from a distance or through a secondary viewer, so that we can really "see" what we need to see? I'll be working on that one for a while.
