EXPECTATIONS. Often they can be the undoing of you; they can throw you completely.

I picked up A Field Guide to Camera Species and the first thought I had was that it was smaller than I expected. It’s not often art books come as a 100 page, A5. Flicking through, I realise that there aren’t the photos I had expected. Then it hits me. The book that I’m holding and confounding my expectations is actually a field guide. In the truest sense.
