I think I can say the same about photography. If I look at a photographic project and don't see something new, unexpected, a mystery or a question, something surprising, or that grabs me in the first half dozen images, my attention wanes. There is a lesson here about image selection and sequencing. Or perhaps an admission about my attention span.
