I was going through some old photos and came across this one that I took from the top of the IDS Tower (on the roof, doing some stuff with our transmitter).

The photo isn’t much to look at, but it is one of those shots that brings back that really freaky “Dude-I’m-Gonna-Fall” feeling.

Just looking at it on my computer screen, I had that same shudder I experienced as I leaned over to take it.

Senses are funny that way. A good (or bad) sound/smell/sight can bring back emotions from your history.

The content creator needs to remember that. Some sensations are fairly ubiquitous (the first bird song of spring, apple pie baking etc).  But I need to remember that the warm-fuzzy feeling that song gives me doesn’t necessarily have the same emotional pull on the consumer. The picture I posted here is just a marginal shot that has a different perspective on the world. I can’t expect that the consumer of this content is going to have the same, body shuddering spine tingle I get whenever I look at it.

That said however,

Here are a few other fun photos I took while up there:
