In one of my high school science classes, the teacher gave us an assignment to observe a pencil. The idea was to write down as many observations as we could possibly think of in just looking at a pencil. After the allotted time, we wrote down on the chalkboard everybody's observations. It was fascinating how many obvious things so many of us had missed. I think about this high school assignment every time I'm out photographing.
