   I’ve noticed that a geometric pattern of some sort is very often a prominent feature of your images.

   @CSK: My eye is definitely drawn to patterns (and reflections).

   @Steven L. Taylor: An old buddy of mine (recently dead of covid) and I used to play chess and Pente all the time. 9 times out of 10 he’d beat me at chess (but I like to think I made him work for it) but Pente? I’d whip his ass damned near ever time. I always thought it was because as a stick building carpenter, I could see geometric patterns developing long before he, a chemist, ever could.

   A thing I found frustrating: That talent for seeing geometric patterns did not translate over to GO for me. Maybe if I’d gotten to play it more, but I think probably not. The laying of a single tile can just change the board entire.

   @OzarkHillbilly:

   Go is a fascinating game. Extremely challenging.

   I’m not half bad at chess except for end-game which always takes 5-10 moves that it should to checkmate.

   Go is a different matter entirely.
