Background
When we first think of new ideas, they often flit about without defined shape. If we really concentrate, we can bring them into focus. These new ideas then become images we can capture in our mind’s eye.
Frame. Focus. Click. There the images are. It’s almost as if we photograph them with a camera. Van- Gundy (1983) used this comparison to suggest a procedure for stimulating ideas using an imaginary camera.
