Find the Art in the Everyday
Let’s revisit a favorite theme of mine: Find the Art in the Everyday. As you go through your day, look for the beauty. Find the extraordinary in the ordinary. Take a photo, draw a sketch, journal about it, then share with all of us here.

a walk through my town last week fits this theme perfectly - the mural in the last picture is a beautiful example of art in the everyday.

This is PERFECT for a new series that I just started called (either) Audio-Photos or Ambient Photos. You can see the first in the series (which is intended to be looked at while listening to the accompanying audio file) HERE.

Here is a gargoyle on the side of one of the green houses that was at the Fioli House and Gardens in Palo Alto. I enhanced the color a bit and she appears to be crying acid-y tears.

Yay! I walk to work as often as I can taking an earlier train so that I have time to dawdle. I take pictures with my phone to later use in my journal or send to my S.O (flowers), collecting artifacts and images.

These photographs were taken over the course of the last 30 days or so. Took the last photograph the day before yesterday and had the roll developed yesterday. I think they fit this weeks theme perfectly and so here’s the link:

I recently went on a camping trip with a person who refused to participate in any activities. She said she was content people watching, but I wondered if she had been an outsider for so long that she didn’t know how to include herself.
This reminded me of an “everyday obect” that may have that same problem…

I carry my camera where ever I go, shopping, lunch walk around the block. You never know what you will find and then you can take the simplest photo and make it into an interesting one just by playing with it in photoshop!

This was a wonderful idea and I LOVE Yeondoo Jung’s photos! I just didn’t have anything handy to follow this prompt the way I wanted to.
Then, I started thinking about how when I was little, I was crazy about My Little Ponies. So, I painted one with watercolors:
