This theme was a very different experience from the last set I shot, those being animal themed, seeing as last time it was easy to choose what to take a picture of (my dog) but it was much harder to actually compose it and shoot it. This time, taking pictures of the objects was simple, composing them quite easy, in fact, however, choosing what to actually take a picture of and figuring out how to make it seem interesting... that was much more difficult than was expected! I actually ended up liking the pictures that I didn't purposefully arrange better than those I set up myself. My favorite picture was one I took of some oranges on my kitchen counter, half-spilling from their mesh bag. I liked how the colors stood out, and the fact that I didn't arrange it that way, that it looked so appealing naturally, seemed to make it look even better. My favorite that I set up myself was of the two carnations in the vase, which I was given at the Fiddlers ReStrung hometown concert the night before. I liked how the wallpaper in my kitchen gave it a nice background- plain and simple, yet just enough texture to add something and not attract attention. The red color popped out nicely. Still, I ended up choosing the oranges picture.
