When you combine your images into a single piece what shows up? What kind of emotions do you create and what kind of message do you convey? These reflections are important unless you want to be a brainless photographer.

Enjoy and have a great week-end!

I changed the background from black to white and the mood of the image changed completely. The barn-doors almost closed created shadows that are somewhat frightening. This image’s message is, be aware what you are doing human being, your wonderful plastic has long shadows.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!

My wife collected small strawberry containers because the people at our fruit-stand told us that they can be re-used. I tried to arrange the containers and then I photographed them using a single strobe light with a barn door.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!

I found this row of belts in a small store. I loved the arrangement of colors.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!

Someone forgot to put this empty cup into the trash bin. It was the perfect opportunity to photograph it.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!

Yesterday I decided to photograph the plastic hoses of my vacuum cleaner. Enjoy and have a nice break until Monday when we continue with this exercise!

If you look around you, you will find plastic everywhere. Our lives are surrounded by plastic like the metal cable is completely covered. One one side it is comforting and on the other side the cable setup looks a little bit frighting to me like it is a setup for a house fire. In other words is the massive amount of plastic a blessing or a course down the road?

Enjoy the image and keep on creating great images!

According to the wikipedia the word plastic originates in the Greek word “plastikos” which means being capable of being shaped or molded. I thought about this definition when I photographed this image.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!

The challenge for the next two weeks is to photograph “plastic.” It is around everywhere and you can look in your garbage can or garage and I am sure you will find an abundance of subjects.

As always, enjoy this exercise!

I looked into our kitchen and found all these plastic caps!
