In a good way, not a mouldy peach kind of a way. I'm really glad you think my photos don't suck, it means a lot to me. Of course I know I can't compete with your photographic talent, but maybe one day I'll give you a run for your money. ;)Zivahttp://zivainferno.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8253452556872551898.post-40671271084482161682012-04-29T00:48:50.545+03:002012-04-29T00:48:50.545+03:00At this point, I'm pretty sure everything is a...At this point, I'm pretty sure everything is an outlier.

Outliers being statistical data or phenomena that are outside the norm. If you're looking at people as the focus, then Ziva is the most obvious Outlier because she's so far outside the frame you can't even see her (more's the pity). The photographer we can see is also an Outlier because while she's part of the group, she's standing separate from the group. Then there's the dork who wants to be a part of the normal group but feels compelled to stand out in some small way. <br /><br />But there are lots of other Outliers here. The bright green band accenting the photographer's read end falls outside the norm because it's so bright. Arguably, so does the red scarf, the patched portion of the wall, and those stones in the steps that are so much larger than the average-sized stones.<br /><br />But it's the church itself that stands out to me. Assuming this photo was taken in Finland, a country in which it's estimated that only 4 percent of the population regularly attends church, it is the biggest Outlier of all, a data point that falls way down on the flat part of the curve to the far left. <br /><br />Once again, Ziva, you've taken a near-perfect photo. In this non-competition, you are also proving to be an Outlier. But I still think my Toothbrush photo was pretty awesome.mikewjattoomanymorningsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8253452556872551898.post-58056100022158330072012-04-28T23:29:05.253+03:002012-04-28T23:29:05.253+03:00Once again, I'd like to point out that it was ...Once again, I'd like to point out that it was one of the two best themes ever, rivalling Toothbrush.mikewjattoomanymorningsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8253452556872551898.post-80674471393048639952012-04-28T23:28:20.097+03:002012-04-28T23:28:20.097+03:00Was somebody talking about me?Was somebody talking about me?mikewjattoomanymorningsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8253452556872551898.post-67546638799665924712012-04-28T23:27:29.699+03:002012-04-28T23:27:29.699+03:00*Gets up out of his chair and slowly backs out of ...*Gets up out of his chair and slowly backs out of the room trying not to make any noise or attract the slightest attention*mikewjattoomanymorningsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8253452556872551898.post-33222610821096120082012-04-28T23:20:06.620+03:002012-04-28T23:20:06.620+03:00"I'm pretty sure Michael made this one up..."I'm pretty sure Michael made this one up,<br />outlier doesn't sound like a real word" UM YEAH!
