Power Play Begins Here

You Think I'm Talking Through My Hat?

As regular visitors to this blog would know, I don't just photograph great landscapes or unusual sights. The real challenge, I reckon, lies in photographing everyday objects. These computer cables and power sockets were lying on a reporter's desk this morning and I could not resist taking a few shots. After I had shot three frames, I looked at it from a different angle - and noticed the abandoned keyboard and a summer hat belonging to one of my colleagues, hence the second shot. I also want to point out that I didn't ``set up'' this shot or re-arrange any of the objects. I shoot things as I see them. I even resisted putting a nearby bottle of chilli sauce near the hat, for a bit of extra colour. You know why? Because good journalists never reveal their sauces, er, sources.
