As many of you know, we have a new puppy. Gunnar has been having somewhat of a field day nipping at my wife's hands, legs and clothing so I decided to buy her a bunch of flowers on my way home to lift her spirits a bit. Saw this display in the flower shop and liked it enough for today's image! Oh .... she LOVED the flowers!
Hey Glover! We are partners for the Get-Pushed Challenge this week . I really enjoy your photos and am very curious about your selling. More on that later. I am challenging you to explore the use of Negative (White) Space in photography.. Here's an article to get you started if you are interested. http://www.photographymad.com/pages/view/understanding-and-using-negative-space-in-photography
@jannkc Thanks for the notice, looks like somthing new for me. I will get back to you for your challenge as quickly as possible. BTW, ask away about my selling ... and if you have any ideas on that let me know.
That was very thoughtful. Yes, I think the stores are ready for
Spring. This is a very colorful shot. Makes me wish Spring were going to be here sooner.
@jannkc Okay, my challenge for you is Street Photography that tells a story without the use of faces. Check out #16 in the attached article ... The 16 Most Photogenic Everyday Objects

The 16 Most Photogenic Everyday Objects

This post is written by James Maher – author of The Essentials of Street Photography – an eBook currently onsale at SnapnDeals (25% off).
You know how some people are just photogenic. No matter what the lighting is or if they are all sweaty from the gym, they are still going to look damn good.
Well the same goes for certain objects and structures. I am such a sucker for things like water towers, lampposts, and fire escapes, and so I thought I would create a list of my 16 favorite things to include in photographs. These objects won’t always make a photo, but when included they will almost always make the scene more photogenic.
What are yours?
1. Cigarettes
Bad for your health, great for your photos.
2. Colorful shoes.
Especially when contrasted with dirty backgrounds.
3. Old Patterned Walls and Wallpaper
An easy way to add an element of pattern and design into your photograph.
4. Glowing Screens
It’s a good thing those glowing cellphone and iPad screens look good in photos, because unfortunately they are becoming hard to avoid these days.
5. Tunnels
The old frame within a frame.
6. Umbrellas
Particularly the translucent and colorful kind when lit from behind.
7. Ladders and Fire Escapes
Turn them on their side and to an angle to create an illusion.
8. Water Towers
Even better when you tint them and add some colorful frames.
9. Fire Hydrants
10. Advertisements that mimic or contrast with real life.
11. Glowing Lampposts
My favorite.
12. Phonebooths
Quickly becoming antiquated. Catch them before they all disappear.
13. Phone Lines
Especially when they are in the middle of nowhere.
14. Old Doors.
15. Windows with Silhouettes.
16. Wet Cobblestone

Phone lines aren’t usually too interesting. However, POWER lines (which is what’s pictured above) are.

Like it. Unfortunately, 90% of these things are not present within 10 miles of my house.

Wow…I didn’t think water towers are interesting objects to photograph. Love the images and the colourful photo frames. Thanks for the inspiration.
Some of my favourite everyday objects are textures (urban decay), old doors or windows, old collectibles.

My favourite object is reflecting surfaces… especially when they’re spheric.

It’s interesting that for every different place and person there is probably a completely different list of 16 things. I like the elephant comment because where I live that is the furthest thing from an everyday objects, but maybe in some places they’re as common as water towers are where I live.
15. Andy Keeble Says:
October 17th, 2012 at 7:54 am
Some of these really opened my eyes! Taking these examples makes me realise how much there is to do!

I like the glowing lamppost – especially with either wet or fresh snow conditions.
17. Richard Haas Says:
October 19th, 2012 at 1:47 am
Great list! I’m surprised you didn’t include bicycles, my favorite.
18. Chris Says:
October 19th, 2012 at 2:01 am
Stila – cool shot. I’m surprised someone didn’t object as you were probably taking a picture of a security camera taking a picture of you!
19. Jenn Says:
October 19th, 2012 at 2:44 am
Fantastic list!
I just want to hug this list, it needs to end with brown paper packages tied up with string!
20. Leny Cato Says:
October 19th, 2012 at 3:12 am
I agree with the main article, but also think that a love for the place you call ‘home’ is necessary. A sense of it’s history and peoples place in it today….
21. James Maher Says:
October 19th, 2012 at 3:16 am
Bicycles! Yes, forgot about those.
22. James Maher Says:

Leny, completely – this post is a lot about home. Everyone’s list of 16 is completely different.

Old doors are my softspot James. Where I live everything’s (too) neat and tidy, so I usually have to wait for holidays or trips to come across interesting examples.
25. Jay Says:
October 19th, 2012 at 6:56 am

27. Jamie Says:
October 19th, 2012 at 8:44 am
I love these! My favorite is the wet cobblestone. I think the most photogenic place is the beach. It always looks good in photos.

Hi James,
Thanks again for sharing the invaluable tips and as usual companied by great sample pictures.
If you ask me to add another ordinary things but photogenic to photograph my answer is mannequin…
Do take a look at my photos of mannequins below: http://zain.zenfolio.com/streetshots/e23bad2bdhttp://zain.zenfolio.com/streetshots/e9c44200http://zain.zenfolio.com/streetshots/e1b92b763http://zain.zenfolio.com/streetshots/e42c5b5ec

I like the composition of your photos a lot except for the smoking one. It actually says “nigger” across the front of the magazine. There must be other photos of smokers in the world. Since the topic was not political commentary, I think that it is inappropriate for this context.
32. John B. Says:
October 21st, 2012 at 2:56 am
I have recently taken to shooting derelict dwellings. There are plenty of them in our rural area. http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/john-b.html?tab=artworkgalleries&artworkgalleryid=216054
33. John B. Says:
October 21st, 2012 at 8:10 am
@ Omitade: If you zoom in on the ‘smoking’ picture, you will see that the word is “Bigger.” While looking at the photo, hold down your left Ctrl key and then tap the numeric keyboard plus sign a few times until you can see it enlarged.
34. Justin Donie Says:
October 21st, 2012 at 10:50 am
I agree with the notion that it’s a different list of favorite everyday things for everyone. Personal and cultural triggers are very subjective, and what pushes one person’s buttons may leave another flat. The cool notion here is to explore your own favorite everyday things list, photographically. It’s a great idea for a project. I wonder if I can stop at 16 …
35. Anna Says:
October 25th, 2012 at 6:41 am
I love shooting my models on wet pavement, we found this nice motorcycle standing there so I had her sit on it just to capture a few shots! The wet pavement was a stunner, it brought great contrast!

@ggshearron It did not work but I did read through above post and then went to his website to see some work. I dont live in or near a city but should find some action today as we received 6 inches of snow over night. I also have to go to a bigger city Thursday. Thanks for the push- now to see what I can do.
