As I get that awful nasty feeling that I need to scrub something, I try to step back and take look at the sponge maybe it will stop on its own. Anyway, the one important thing that 365 has done for me is to let my eyes see and see outside of my 'normal' box. Then I go and take picture of the sponge.
I once tried to do housework but before I'd managed to get the bucket full of hot soapy water I had one of my usual bizarre and unusual strokes of inspiration. Suddenly the housework seemed less important than an elaborate set up and 4 hours editing the resulting shot. Needless to say, everyone that I live with thought so too...
Yes I have this thought too, but my parents teached me to look at the beautiful things in life, and took the rainbow as example. They said to allways take the time to look at the rainbow, because it can be gone in a minute, and the dust and the things you have to clean, are still there, when the rainbow is long gone. Do not miss the chance, they said. So I do what my parents told me many, many, many years ago and I look for the beauty, take a picture of it and clean later. :-)
Me neither. I have an occasional #howcleanismyhousenotvery series where I shoot something and once editing I am forced to observe the grime, grit, dust and general filth that is revealed. Hillbilly central rocks
I recently caught myself taking pics of some perfectly formed water droplets on a tap I'd just cleaned... don't judge me, at least something actually got cleaned that day...
And, how about that puzzled look and shake of the head you get from other adults in the household when you are caught, red-handed, photographing said sponge or buckets?
I just got home from photographing the ceiling of the supermarket when I was supposed to be buying produce. Yup, the security guys there think I'm certifiable.
hahaha..... thanks guys I've been chuckling in the back corner for the past 5 minutes reading this. My work colleagues think I've lost the plot.
Yep..... I should be working
@graemestevens Showed my husband your photo. His response was, "please, please, stick with the cheese grater". I'm taking that as a challenge (insert evil chuckle here)!
When I photograph inside, I pick my angles carefully to avoid the reality. But if we were all being honest, we could take a candid photo of the mess now and then.
I start to do something, sort of, next thing I know, I'm out the door with camera in hand and a husband standing there just shaking his head....he loves me, really.....I think.....bahahahahah
@mzzhope is it wrong that when I am doing portraits of someone that has pimples I get out a pen and start poking them in the face... then I remember I need to do that in photoshop.
Oh my Dearest colleagues and friends! I SO GET IT! Actually, being totally honest, when Ken can stand it no longer, he'll clean... That sounds about right, doesn't it? (I have many friends who call him "Saint Ken"...and that includes me because the best husbands are supportive and willing to help out while we pursue our artistic drives...yah, I DID get lucky!)

@graemestevens great shot, love the commentary too - brilliantly funny.
@noko411 looking forward to the non-mundane-cheese-grater challenge photos!
