- acuozzo 4y agoWhen I'm doing home repair and my endoscope isn't handy I use my phone as a periscope. Because of this it is full of "pointless" photos e.g. dozens of out-of-focus shots behind my AV receiver in my stereo cabinet to make sure I didn't over-strain a cable while pushing it back. Does this count as pointless stuff?
- JohnFen 4y agoIt could! The art is in the curation.
- all2 4y agoContext? What "pointless stuff" do you photograph? I'm partial to taking pictures of graffiti, especially on trains. It's like a mobile art gallery with the occasional unskilled swear word thrown in.
- tialaramex 4y agoNo OP, but I take photographs of infrastructure stuff, especially if I think I might later want to investigate what the deal is. So e.g. I don't have a photograph of the view from the tourist elevator which comes out of a fake chimney on what was Battersea Power Station in Central London (London's electricity was once supplied by huge coal power stations right in the city, today Bankside is a world famous modern art gallery "Tate Modern", while Battersea is basically a mall plus apartments), because you can presumably buy that on a postcard, but I do have a photograph of the interior of a service elevator which accesses that area because I was interested in how it behaved when the idiots running the attraction overloaded that elevator.
