Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #54: Detail

Everything made by human hands looks terrible under magnification–crude, rough, and asymmetrical. But in nature every bit of life is lovely. And the more magnification we use, the more details are brought out, perfectly formed, like endless sets of boxes within boxes
― Roman Vishniac

I don’t believe that first sentence. Human hands makes some incredible things. But I firmly believe the rest of the quote and these are the details I love to see, record, and share. Patti challenges us to share details this week, so without further ado, here are mine.

The devil is in the detail” is an idiom that refers to a catch or mysterious element hidden in the details. It derives from “God is in the detail” attributed to German-born architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969). Earlier on Gustave Flaubert (1821-1880) said “Le bon Dieu est dans le detail.” Meaning that things seem simple at first but are more complex or require more time and effort than expected. The earlier idea is that details are important; whatever one does should be done thoroughly.

― Gustave Flaubert

Beware the person who won’t be bothered with details.― William Feather

Details are important, be observant. ― Deyth Banger
