Personally I like to photograph the more unassuming motifs at home. It is stimulating for me as a photographer.

An interesting shot that works better in B&W than it would in color due to all the texture.

Agreed, works very well and it takes a lot of courage to pursue these subjects as they are less immediately appealing to many viewers.

Nice work choosing a subject in the busy surroundings -- the brighter branch stands our well in b/w.

Thank you! In the Nordic countries, this type of Picture is more and more common as nature picture. I believe that many are tired of sunsets and looking at the same scene from famous shooting locations. Photographing these "everyday" pictures I think that's right! This is how nature looks at many places. In addition, to bring order to the mess in these motifs makes demands and are challenging for the photographer, which is good for one's development.

Then we must ask ourselves! Who are we shooting for? ourselves or for others?
