Doing this is a mixed blessing.  On the one hand finding an good, and more rarely a captivating photo, is a great reward.  On the other hand looking at so many photos that just don&#8217;t work is frustrating.  On seeing a photo I have questions running through my mind: what was I trying to capture?
