Description
Reviving Richard's 5 in 5 challenge because it's a good challenge and I'm stupid like that. Five Shots in five minutes, that is. (It may have been more than five minutes--I was doing my afternoon walk in 10 degree weather and was near froze solid by the time I got back to my vehicle.) I tend to lose track of time when I'm finding interesting things to photograph and those salt patterns were pretty cool Also, I was having a * LOT * of fun watching people watch me taking photos of the sidewalk.
So...all because of RICHARD you all will have to put up with 4 more of these types of photos from me in the coming days. He started it. I' just...finishing it.
All taken with my cellphone (LG Stylo 3). The best camera to use is the one you have with you
Shot one. Salt residue on a sidewalk kind of made me think of the Milky Way

That`s a tight time frame for sure,I`m usually a quick,spur of the moment ,off the cuff kinda shooter but I wouldn`t do any good with 5 in 5
Guess it depends where you are would definately help a lot,you certainly did more than I could with a pavement/sidewalk brother

Oh, I'd wager you'd do very well with the challenge. I didn't think I could do it either--my problem seems to be that I tend to have too narrow of focus on subject, hence the sidewalk shots, but there's no rule that the shots can't be all of the same sort of thing.
Thank you brother Jonathan

Hah...so long ago now but it was a fun exercise to motivate people who had "photographer's block" to get back to creating art. And you have precisely done that with this revival. I like what you've captured here and agree it does look like the Milky Way.

Yup, the challenge works! Thanks for instilling that in me, Richard. The problem was while I did 'notice' things, I didn't photograph them. I didn't believe I could take a good enough photo to warrant it. In other words, I didn't think I was good enough. No confidence. I'm starting to get some confidence back.
As far as the pack mentality--I think folks just thought I was 'MENTAL' 
I did have one fella ask what i was doing and when I started to explain he just sort of wandered off.

Seeing is just as good as taking. That's more than half the point of the exercise. For one to see potential in the mundane thus proving that art is everywhere all the time if one just opens their eyes and let it in.
IKR...I've learned to never get involved with trying to explain in detail to passerby's what I'm photographing. It's easier just to say I'm doing art photography. They get it...even if they don't

It works a charm, Sensei 
I do think that folks can have a natural 'eye' for art but some folks--like me--have to develop that eye and if I get lax in exercising that eye then I lose it. Use it or lose it!

I understand that perfectly...I'm the same...learned, not a natural. But I think, like know how to ride a bike, once you have you never forget how to.
