Add your own sound effects,
such as a descending space ship,
or a choir of angels.
Asking you to do this suggests that photography has something in common with poetry: Both draw their material from the world, selecting just certain details and certain angles and certain frames to present, using the medium of pixels or words, and leaving it to the reader/viewer/listener to add more, to bring in their own meanings and experiences and images and sound effects.
Art, (or pictures taken with my dog tugging at the leash while I aspire to art with nature's help), is an experience that requires the participation of a viewer to make it complete. I hope someone views this. It's not a very unique kind of picture, but maybe it will trigger a comment about the experience you bring to help you enjoy my picture or my words.
The question of "what to do with routine" reminds me of the situation when teenagers are faced with waiting, even for a few moments, without their music (e.g. an iPod). I see "what to do with routine" as one version of the question, who creates the soundtrack to our lives, do we want that soundtrack to be a live show, and if so, do we want to be on stage or in the audience? I like your picture, I viewed it. As I read, I imagined a choir of angels emerging from a spaceship to collect snapshots of you walking your dog.
