It is bright and so, some people love it.  It is sober and so the others do.  Wading through photography, I am learning a lot more than just how to get the shutter moving.  It has changed by entire outlook towards beauty.  Black, white; loud, subtle; contrasting, blending, it does not really matter.  All that matters is how you depict it and you will realize that they are all beautiful.  The only probably ugliness in the world could be suffering, be it human or animal.  If you really want to see how beautiful the world is, then buy yourself a camera and enjoy the view.
