Mark,

This is a simple construct but has depth and inside that another reality.

[Asher Kelman]

Well this next set of objects is really mundane also transient! One of the most intimate relationships!

Asher, The bottom soap looks as if it could be melting ice!

A very interesting effect.

[Michael Nagel]

Sandrine - interesting place for fire extinguishers, but now I'm stuck with this song in my head (...putting out the fire with gasoline...)...

I am constantly looking for odd things on my way. I saw this in january on the way to a hike:

Ausgebrannt​

Ausgbrannt = burnt out

Best regards,

Hi Michael,

Lovely! It may be burnt out but it still shines.

Cem,

Thanks, I did not look at it this way. I was more focused on the different ways of decay, the rotten leaves and the old lightbulb with parts of it missing.

Best regards,
Michael

Michael, you will be surprised at the beautiful collection one can have by accumulating photographs
of decayed ( thrown out ) items.

I make background patterns out of them.

another common object

A fire hydrant in a stadium parking lot, protected from the cars but not from the people.

[Michael Nagel]

Fire hydrants are a good subject as they come in various shapes and often vivid colors.

I like the symmetry vs. asymmetry aspect of your photo.

I found this result of a public chess game:

Game over​

Best regards,
Michael

This is a shot I took a long time ago of a bottle backlit through a sheet of greaseproof paper, using a slide projector.

This, my good friend, might be too nice ........ or even beautiful.

Asher

This then?

 

[Asher Kelman]

Fahim,

Your work is naturally elegant and always a good choice. Still, let me gently steer the thread a little more towards Sandrine's original idea. It does not require beauty!

What is the most common, ordinary, mundane, everyday object you ever photographied?

Here's mine:

......... the simple, mundane and practical; elegantly imagined and shown. It's hard to be at this end of the spectrum, but it's a goal we can try every so often.

Pencils? "What is the most common, ordinary, mundane, everyday object you ever photographied?

But to my kids, pencils are not mundane..keyboards are. How about camels? Mundane?

Pencils are indeed "super mundane" and as perfect choice. camels, OTOH or far to noble to be assigned to this heading. Common, but not mundane!

Pencils are indeed "super mundane" and as perfect choice. camels, OTOH or far too noble and blessed with life to be assigned to this heading. Common, for sure but never mundane!

Depends. Where you live. And what you are used to.

Snow..common, mundane? For whom?
Sand, desert. common, mundane? For whom?

Iznik tiles. common, munane? For whom?

Depends.
