The table - Some days it is the ordinary details that can catch your eye. A certain time of day, a certain perspective, or everyday objects in our lives that we often overlook in our daily routine can capture more than we think.

After work today, I was sitting on the couch trying to decide what I was going to do for a daily photograph. Looking absently around the room, in the late afternoon sun, the glare from the lenses on the sunglasses attracted me. It was the way the sunlight flared off the lenses that interested me initially. It was a combination of the angle of the sunlight, the placement of the sunglasses, and the spot on the couch where I was sitting. A little movement to either side or a change in elevation would not capture the flare. The sun moves fast in the late afternoon and the light changed quickly. This was actually the first shot. I didn’t have the ISO I wanted but I needed to shoot quickly. The other images I shot of this were too late to get the flare.

The table sites just beyond the entry hall from our front door, a chair sits at both ends of the table. In the image are Allison’s sunglasses, a spare house key, a plant that is occasionally neglected, and a phone. Just ordinary things, just pieces of our lives, but that’s how it goes.
