Rubbish as Art: Cardboard Box
I was filling the car up with gas after work and noticed a box by the gas pump. It’s not the typical trash you see – usually there are soda cans or food wrappers but not a box of tomatoes. I liked the contrast of colors against the pavement and thought I might as well take a photo (or two.. or three) while I wait for the tank to fill up. This also begins a new category I call, “Rubbish as Art.” Here are the results of the Rubbish as Art series: Tips: A couple years ago I was … Continue reading Rubbish as Art: Cardboard Box

So I’ll photograph some sewing needles tonight to … Continue reading You want me to photograph that? – Sewing Needles!
Mushrooms as Art
Five years ago I decided to have a botanical birthday, so I got in my car and drove 100 miles southeast of where I live to visit the Athens Botanical Gardens in Athens, TX. That’s where I found reddish colored mushrooms—which I had never seen before and haven’t seen anywhere else. It reminds me of the mushrooms in Super Mario Brothers. ————————————————————————————————————— This photo is part of an ongoing series of mushroom photos in my collection. (I like to take photos of objects that most people overlook.) Notes about photo: This photo was taken with a Sony DSC-H2– a great … Continue reading Mushrooms as Art
