When I took these photos it was a bitterly cold day and I was feeling very blah. I wanted to photograph something – anything, really.
My usual subjects are pets, flowers, and bugs so there was no chance of finding anything new to photograph. Actually, if I remember it right, we were about to get snowed in. Well anyway, I was determined to force myself out of funkland.
I had Nick pick the ugliest thing in our apartment and he chose our stove. No argument there – I’m pretty sure my landlord painted it white when it started to discolor so now when I clean it there are always specs of white flaking off onto my sponge and revealing a nasty yellowish brown color beneath.
So I decided to get out my macro lens and try to make our repulsive stove into a beautiful piece of art. It was a spur of the moment photography prompt, and here’s how it came out:
The whole oooogly stove. Just so you know what I was working against – I mean with – here.
Ok so I didn’t make anything spectacularly beautiful, but they certainly are interesting if nothing else – right? Oh and in case you’re wondering what the one on the left is: it’s a patch of the backboard between the oven light switch and the clock. My macro lens is definitely my favorite toy to play with!
Thanks for reading!
