Photographing the Banal

[texxter]

I'm a newcomer to this thread. It's right up my alley.

Love this image! Taking a dull armchair and forcing us to experience its massive presence in the frame... really enjoy the "in your face" style of your photo!

Walking Dog - 75 mm - Art 8 I I-1 by Wade, on Flickr

Love the humour in the title! And the inclusion of the rear end of the car... and the green lawns... it works well!

Something similar to my last shot.

Chimney

Beautiful photo of the banal! Love the framing of the sky and the lonely chimney off center... the "pedestal" of the frame is great with its stack of colors. And the mass of clouds also works better than a pure blue sky. So simple, geometric and attractive.

Thanks very much texxter. That was a photo that was framed up and ready to be taken, for sure.

Emila, fashion for you. Image created in Mérida, Mexico. Took the photo because of the implicit triangle created by the trash bag, the sign and the boy's shirt

I end up doing some of this, especially B&W. I look for patterns, lines, tonality, texture, etc. Here are a couple of examples.
