ABSTRACT
From photographs each of us can learn more about the world. Images not only inform us about the products we never knew we needed, the events, people and places too distant or remote for us to see with our own eyes, but also tell us more about the things we thought we already knew. Most of us are too preoccupied to stand and look at something for any great amount of time. We glance at something briefly and think we have seen it. Our conditioning or desires often tell us what we have seen or would like to see. When we look at a photograph of something ordinary, however, it may show us the object as we had never seen it before. With a little creative imagination and a little photographic technique it is possible to release the extraordinary from the ordinary.
