To coordinate with different outfits? I mean I don't care, I only have the one unadorned black one, but I can see where someone else might. (I also live in Baltimore, which is not so very far north. Anywhere temperate, a toque can be a handy thing to have - although we more often call them knit caps, down here. Nor am I bald; you don't need a shiny head to need something keeping it warm.)

I don't grasp the intent, either. Perhaps there isn't one. Not long ago I might've written it off as pure wank, but just lately I've been thinking about how to compose my own photographs with artistic value, whatever that means - which makes it a little hard to indulge in the same kind of offhand dismissal I'd rather not have aimed at me.

Yeah, I wouldn't dismiss it either. It might just be an experiment in mindfulness - not getting rid of stuff, but just thinking about each thing and seeing how it influences your life.
