Who Left The Door A Jar?

Sorry If I'm A Bit Glassy-Eyed

Photograph copyright: DAVID McMAHON


While I am drawn to strong colours and unusual perspectives on everyday sights, I frequently photograph monochromes because I revel in a challenge. There's this friend of ours from Sydney who makes the best mayonnaise and this jar had just been finished (alas). It had been washed and dried and was sitting on the kitchen bench mid-afternoon and I just thought I could get a great shot. The trick is to make it instantly recognisable, while inviting you to take a second look at an intriguingly familiar image. I hope it's worked....

Hungry For Power

No Silver Meddle For Me

Photograph copyright: DAVID McMAHON


I shot this at work a couple of weeks ago, in the kitchen area. I never move objects to set up shots, but someone had shifted this grill so that it was positioned right under the power socket. The reflection was just perfect, so all I had to do was get my camera to capture the moment.
