Texture

 Photographs are primarily a visual thing. Light goes through air, bounces off an object, through more air, a lens, and is captured on some kind of a sensor. Editing happens. The photo is displayed on a screen, paper, or some other media. More light bouncing off it, into our eyes, through the optic nerve, and interpreted by our brains. 

It's complicated and amazing that it works at all. Yet we have more senses than our eyes. We don't have a way of capturing touch the way we capture light, but we can still feel the texture of an object in a photo. I was looking back at recent photos that do that for me. Can you feel the textures here?
