I like the idea that you thought out of the box for this mandate. Each
of these has their charm. Nice!

Ta. I like unconventional subject matter. That's why I rarely do
flowers, birds, or landscapes. I figure if the subject is interesting
enough, it will cover up my lack of technical skills as a
photographer.

What I was really looking for was a couch or chair in a completely
alien place for a couch or chair...on the beach, in the woods, or
somewhere you wouldn't expect a couch or chair to be. Didn't find it,
and I'm surprised no one else did.


I did that for a past SI.

Today, I was driving down a back road and saw an old overstuffed chair
sitting in a lightly wooded area where someone had dumped it. I
passed it by thinking "Where were you when I needed you?".


That's similar to my mind's-eye photo, but I would have the chair or
couch looking small and lost in the image rather than prominent. The
idea is that the item has been discarded and is now in an alien
setting natural habitat of a chair or couch.

I often do this: picture in the mind what I want to find and
photograph. It rarely pans out for me. I end up going for what pops
up and demands to be photographed.

The camera sometimes acts like a divining rod leading me to the
subject. I swear it sometimes trembles in my hand when it senses an
interesting scene. If I could only do my part.



Relax, All you can do is turn up your sensory glands. The scene often
tell you what to do.
