The rustic and the exquist nicely toguether. Gosh, Maureen I keep thinking of something "beautiful and functional" for this thursday... and I am not finding it... :-'
Hi Jorge-I honestly think that most functional items 'are' beautiful to me......cups/glasses/pots/chairs/taps/tools/vases/trolleys etc. hope this helps!
Hi Jorge. Good! Expanding the way we normally see makes us re-see what we normally overlook. Does that make sense to you? We don't see the form of a coffee cup as significantly beautiful, but the potter who made the piece calls it art. Fill that cup with coffee and let it steam into your photo, grab a camera, and look at it. It is a beautiful thing. Scattered around us are lots of beautiful overlooked fully functional stuff that make our lives seem to work easier. To the designer they were far more than just a tool, or just a thing. Rise to the challenge! Show us your vision. Show us your culture.
BTW Seeing the photo with the brick used as a holder rather than a spacer, is just wonderful use of what is around us. How very creative, and it is captured nicely. Thanks for sharing the shot!
This is ruggedly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGreat capture!
Yup--leaves me with a want for a full view.
ReplyDeleteSo simply, but brilliantly effective. :-)

ReplyDeleteYour contradictions of the ancient and the fresh always astonish.
ReplyDeleteYes they are beautiful, I am just not used to photograph them... or I'm not having the patience.
