You know how little kids can find the smallest/simplest little things and make them into toys that offer seemingly endless entertainment? That's what I love about macro photography (if you haven't heard this term before, think "close-up photograph"... almost like taking pictures with a lower power microscope). Basically the smallest/simplest thing can yield hours of creative entertainment. Yesterday, the subject was my bathroom sink. Just the faucet, to be exact. And with an AMC gift card as a background... this is the fun I had:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Too see the setup for this shot, check out the comments. Macro photography offers a different perspective on an otherwise very plain and ordinary thing. The fun (and for that matter, the wonder) lies in taking a look at something in an entirely new way. Try it sometime...

here is my set up for this shot. one flash on each side with a little AMC gift card taped behind the faucet for background. i love how this scene can produce something that looks so different and other-worldly.

also, if you are curious, yes... that is a michigan state shower curtain in my bathroom. it's made of jersey-style mesh, and it is awesome.
