Members periodically select specific subjects or themes for their photographs. The current theme is “Something You See Every Day." As the subject of the photo, members were asked to choose an object from their home or property that they see every single day; e.g., their coffee mug, car keys, lamp, outside light post, mailbox, etc. Once an object was chosen and a snapshot taken of it, members were asked to move on from this “boring” photo by switching the angle they were shooting from. The idea is that when you get down (or up) to the level of your subject matter, rather than simply shooting them straight on or from a standing position, you can create interesting images from a perspective that most people don’t see regularly. The following photos, taken and selected by members, exemplify that theme.
