Actually you'd make a pretty good photographer. There are two parts to being a photographer: the mechanics of working a camera, which I can teach anyone; and the ability to see the important details in the world. Which can be nurtured, but people either see these details, or don't. Things like this: "I’d staked them in such a way that I wouldn’t be able to install the deer-shield tubing she’d purchased at my specific request, but I thought they’d make it anyway. Which they did, taking root after a few hard rains and shooting out new branches lined with tiny oval leaves that flashed emerald in the sun."
You see the moment; that's actually the hard part.
This makes me wish I understood how to take a decent photo. Alas, I do not. But I can see the appeal!
