The part is in the whole, but the whole is also in the part.

My artist brother is a painter, musician, and photographer. When we made films together he was always puzzled at my quick shots of overlooked details. To me they helped. I wouldn't say they were fundamental to the overall quality of the art. But they added a distinguishing touch. It's what I like to bring to the table, if if I don't do it every time. It's what I notice, and remember. Like the backgrounds in a Renaissace painting. In fact I wish I captured more peculiar details, in whatever I make. Individualization counts.
