Photo of the Day – Photographing the Ordinary
Arizona Photography, Photo of the Day, Tucson Area Photography No CommentsCorner of Franklin St & Main Ave., Tucson, AZ f/7.1 – 1/40 sec – ISO 100 – Focal Length 18 mm
A simple everyday fire hydrant may not seem like a good photograph subject. But I think it is all in how you look at it. To me, photography is all about seeing things differently. Not as everyday objects, but as photographic subjects. So when I see a fire hydrant I think about how it might look from a less than ordinary perspective (such as from down below). In this particular image I like the unique perspective as well as how the “newness” of the hydrant plays against the historic adobe building.
