I'm not sure, I may have mentioned this before ......
I can be out and taking photos and be mostly unsatisfied with the first fifty pictures that I take and ready to give it up for the day, then suddenly take one that I really like and instantly receive renewal and get fired up about the possibilities of the next fifty.
You never know the image that is just five or ten seconds away from presenting itself. Especially if you decide there's nothing present to be seen and walk away in frustration and resignation. You have to have eyes open, be available and ready, because it may only last for a second or two. Ears open also .... sounds can alert you to developing possibilities.
I guess it's a little like the shooter's mentality in basketball. You may miss ten jump shots in a row but if you quit shooting, you'll never know if maybe you might have made the next five .... or even ten if you get in "the zone."
