Mundane Challenge #25 - toilet paper

September 8th, 2013
Thanks to @ikamera (Kiran) for organizing the last mundane challenge, and thank you to all who voted for my mushroom cloud :)

i have selected TOILET PAPER as the next mundane item... something i expect a good many of us take for granted and rarely think about (unless, of course, the roll is empty - at which point we are likely to cuss out whichever family member used up the last bit and did not replace it ;p)

The mundane theme was started by Aaron @grizzlyghost, for those of us who may have lost inspiration. He suggested we take an ordinary, boring object and start shooting it. Turn the ordinary into the extraordinary!

You are free to use any photographic technique you like to capture this everyday object. The only rule: there can be no question the object of the challenge is the star!

The challenge officially starts today Sunday September 8th and runs through to the end of Sunday September 15th... on Monday i will pick finalists for voting...

Please tag your entries: mundane-toiletpaper

you can check out the entries here: http://365project.org/tags/mundane-toiletpaper

Feel free to post your entries onto this thread as well, as inspiration for others! i took one to start the tag off - it is posted below...

The following is a list of objects used so far for the challenge: toothbrush, screwdriver, veggie peeler, bar of soap, scissors, electrical plug, paperclip, jar, language, cardboard, toothpick, hex key, hair comb, screw, button, key, coin, ballpoint pen, shoe, glass, plastic bag, thread and lightbulb.

have fun!!

This isn't an entry for this challenge but I thought I'd give you an idea of the fun you can have with loo roll (!!) I returned home one evening after being out with friends to find hubby had been shopping. This is one of the first shots I took way back in January 2011. Hopefully I've become a bit more artistic than this since!

@northy I'm guessing Ross is on holiday or something, and that's why we haven't had a new theme.

If your toilet paper shot is more abstract, different, perspective changing or just plain odd, be sure to enter it into the ABSTRACT toilet paper challenge!

@northy I thought so, too. I mean... if you run out of toiletpaper there are always old newspapers or *something* lying around you could use.
