Frank, you are a lucky man, as not everything you do/think/say is burdened with stuff like "sense" or "purpose". Not so long ago, I had a talk with a friend who paints and draws, who said that it's good, and maybe necessary, to do things that certainly do not follow a purpose on first hand. If something appeals me and a camera is at hand, no thinking or questioning, just shooting. Maybe ideas, questions, answers come. Or not.
