You are may be asking what the heck is this and/or why did you photograph it.
I photographed it because I saw this amazing light on the bottle of clothes detergent that I had just bought and sat at the bottom of the stairs to bring up to the laundry room. It was glowing in the darkness.
I photographed it because I like the graphic design of the stairs as they made the turn to the living room.
I photographed it because of the colors...the red bottle, the blue top, the gray stairs, the dark shadows.
I photographed it because of the textures...the smooth bottle and the rough stairs.
I photographed it because I wanted to remember that second when I saw it and sucked in my breath and said, Oooh.
I photographed it because I love seeing the beauty in something common place.
And lucky me, I had my little camera in my hand.
Great shot. Great essay. I keep my camera as close to me as possible.
ReplyDeleteExcellent, you definitely take the time to smell the detergent!
ReplyDeleteLove the angles and juxtaposition. A great composition that wasn't a composition!

Love it, for much the same reasons you stated, colours, textures, light, shadows,straight edges and curves.
ReplyDeleteVery nice.
Those are the moments that we love to photograph, even if it's a bottle of detergent. :D
ReplyDeleteI now know why I have, what looks like, strange pictures from years ago. I was just looking at one recently, I deleted it. Now I'm thinking there was a very good reason I photographed that, but I can't remember.
ReplyDeleteIt is sometimes the feeling of that moment.
