Same street, same sky. The photographer who moved two steps left got the shot. Angle is a choice.

Two people can stand in the same situation and come away with completely different material, and the difference is position more often than luck. Moving slightly changes what lines up behind what. That holds for a street, and it holds just as well for a problem you have been staring at from one spot for a month.

Take the two steps this week. Ask how someone else would tell it, write the situation from the other person’s side, or literally sit on the other side of the room. The facts stay still while the picture changes.
