Today has been one of those days with wall to wall work and no time for leisure whatsoever. Having reached 10pm without having taken my daily photo I did what I usually do in such situations and resorted to raiding the kitchen drawers for inspiration! I came up with this large slotted spoon, set it on some black card and lit it with a torch to produce this rather moody looking abstract. Total time from first click of the shutter to posting here – 15 minutes – mission accomplished!

Awesome!! And so quick! My best efforts don't look this good and they take me a loooong time! ????? · 2010-11-11: 17:19

Gah! Too often I have days like that and too often I come up with something half-baked. This is stunning. And I never thought I'd be saying that about a photo of a slotted spoon! alison · 2010-11-12: 09:23
