Whenever I get the chance to wake up early in the morn, the first thing I usually do is glance at my room illuminated with the morning sunshine, then glance out and take it the beauty. And by "taking in the beauty" I actually mean "analyzing everything" -- such as the details, colors, contours, geometric shapes, life-forms, rust, dust, smell, sound, wind, chill, reflections, shadows, etc. and with the given data, I proceed to deduce what other stuff could be out there that I'm unable to see (such as the possible locations of bees, termites, pigeon nests, rear brown sparrows, etc.)
The first thing I did today after washing my eyes was observe the sun's rays on my fist, and deduce I could recreate such an image flawlessly on paper / canvas, bu observing the blur, contours, geometry, etc. Apparently midtones are usually more saturated that either highlights or shadows, and the edges of sharper shadows show signs of light-burn.
All this is wonderful, but my biggest frustration is that I'm incapable of remembering details. I can deduce based on the details before me, but once it's gone I can't recall the detail back. In this case, I memorized on how to flawlessly recreate my fist, including the shadows, with geometric data, but immediately forgot all that data when looked out the window. Perhaps it's my innate ability to rely on "full picture" rather than the details therein in order to keep sight of my goals, where I can simply recreate the details via analyses, but I seriously wish I had Photographic memory like Da Vinci or Bill Gates, or even Sajainta for that matter.
