This launched me on a chain of thought about found compositions and designed compositions, and how some compositions, though found, look designed. (And some designed compositions look found.) And some compositions are just lost.
Like the Japanese Garden, lovingly and strictly designed and controled to look pleasantly and artfully natural. The couple of times I've thought seriously about painting I've realized that photographing for me is about discovery and creating a painting was a different process completely. Your work nicely combines the discovery and painting's ability to rearrange the universe. Like you said "And some compositions are just lost."

This is like a painting! I wonder who artfully arranged all that stuff for you.

I've always thought it is the same non-corporeal being that dries the dishes after I wash them and put them in the rack. Oh, the mysteries of life.
