Urban environment and photography

I took these pictures, captured this urban scene again because of the reflections.

It was even without thinking. I just saw one thing I was searching intentionally (or not) and instinctively took my phone out.

It was as if I didn't see the essence. It was as if I was blind for anything else, except for the puddles and the reflections in them.

That was the most important thing.

It was probably even after I was ready with it, when I realized what I have actually captured - the misery of every day's life.

So initially I could only see some puddles. Then I looked around and saw the rest - unsettled urban and residential infrastructure that reflects in the quality and standard of overall life.
Which causes a low quality of life and makes people put up with it.

So, my camera (it doesn't matter if it's a camera or a phone anymore) is my weapon - I don't know how many times I've stated that before.
(I know, I know, there are other people who wrote this thought before - I checked it on Google so as to be sure of the uniqueness of my own words, 🤭 because they are my own words, no matter what.)

Because it always limits my thoughts to the object of my photography, not in its meaning and significance.
When something is photographed, it has meaning and significance only for the photograph. Because the camera does not judge - whether this is ugly or beautiful, right or wrong. It's just an object to photograph. Nothing more. Only after that can the brain begin to function with its usual functions of evaluating and judging, classifying and describing.

So, aren't we better off using more machines, more non-emotional tools in our lives? It will certainly make it happier, if not prettier. 🤔
