Project 365 – Day 71

I am using this project, in part, as a challenge to capture everyday things in a way that is interesting or that sparks a different perspective.  As photographers, we are often boxed into a desire to capture “iconic” moments or subjects.  We are inspired by, and therefore want to replicate, the work of giants like Ansel Adams.  Their compositions and subjects are photographed beautifully.  To this day, I love going to national parks to shoot those famous, recognizable venues.

On the other hand, there is something unique and satisfying about finding something photo worthy on my own.  There are beautiful architectural creations, textures, people, landscapes, patterns, shapes, colors, and light all around us.  Everywhere, everyday.  It takes a thoughtful eye to find it, and a skill (or luck) to properly capture it.  And when you do, it’s yours.  It’s like writing AND singing your own song, not just singing a hit someone else made famous.

Make the mundane uncommon by creating and sharing your point of view.
