Same with me.


Just little things, like taking a photo of a bar - I'm interested in bars and stuff more generally but the people working at them (and the clientele) are occasionally thuggish and I don't spot them getting suspicious so I just totally shut down and concentrate getting the shot. This is dangerous, really, and situations like that can end badly if you're not good with social skills.

I think that I'm reasonably observant, though no more than the average person. It's unusual for me to take little notice of the physical and social environment, and there are certain things that I have a particularly keen awareness of (dates, for instance), though I wouldn't say that I was unusually sharp.
