This week at the Lounge we had a theme of found objects. The only requirements were that someone else arrnaged the subject, it could be a display in the store or a forgotten item. As always, our community delivered succent photos from mannequins to newspapers, toliets to mops. Jen and I are always so impressed by the talent and unique points of view our photographers bring to the table.
This week’s highlight is from Erin Cindric @lifewithart. I loved this photo for a couple reasons. One, the man made against nature always poses and interesting juxtapostion. It is truely one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. I also liked the competeing textures.
“beach debris” can trash be beautiful?The shores of Lake Ontario has recently become my favorite local for photography…the water, the tress, the birds all provide great subject matter. But on this day I was looking for something different and when I came across this washed up tire I was saddened to see this type of debris. It looked so out of place but yet had a subtle beauty to it. It brought back memories of collecting bits of beach glass which again are beautiful but really a sign of the garbage that gets thrown into our lakes and rivers.
This type of subject has been inspired by the work of photographer Chris Jordan. Please check out his work.
