I'm calling this series of photographs "ordinary beauty". I briefly talked the series here, but basically I took ordinary objects and tried to find the beauty hidden within them. I really think I will turn this into a project. There are so many objects that a beautiful at first glance - plants, food, even people. But it wasn't until I really looked closely at these ordinary objects that I found the pulchritude they have.
(If you're not sure what's being photographed in a shot, just over the photo with your mouse)
"ordinary beauty" has forced me to be more creative, made me try harder to bring out the beauty I know is in these objects.
And now for the giveaway winner!

So pretty! It's so easy to lose yourself in daydreams when staring into the bubbles of a glass of fizzy water. Usually I dislike using the word epic, but this series of photos is, well, epic.
