Wells Cathedral #1

Since moving to the United Kingdom in 2000 I have become very aware of tourists. Living in London and then in Bath you have plenty of time to observe tourists as they go about their tasks of 'taking in everything they can.' It is an easy mindset to which you can succumb. I try to overcome that temptation by looking for the details that you might miss whilst trying to get 'the big picture.' Instead of taking lots of exterior shots of Wells Cathedral, I tried to photograph bits and pieces of the cathedral which make the entire experience interesting. Photographing in this way is quite meditative in nature and enhances your awareness.
