Seeing not looking

A chair and camera case?
Ceci n’est pas un mouton.
I was looking at a chair while I lay down. After a little while I saw four legs, a body and a neck. I looked around to get my camera and find something for a head. The case for my camera was perfect, the straps when attached to the chair even resembled ears. I showed the picture to a friend who stared at it for a while and said, ‘yes, a chair and a bag’. I said ‘no, it’s a sheep’. Now she and I can’t look at it without seeing the sheep. There are things all around us that are waiting to be noticed we just need to see them and place a spotlight on them. I am on the look out.
On a similar theme of ‘Seeing’ you may enjoy Matt Stuart‘s photography.

We all think this is clever.

Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. We have a painting depicting a staircase. I once rotated it 45 degrees and suddenly it looked like a gigantic frog. Now i can’t look at it without seeing the frog.
