Shadows and Highlights

I am a perfectionist which means that often times, instead of doing something halfway, I don't do it at all! This perfectionism had seeped into my attitude about photography as well. My camera would sit in the camera bag for months if I didn't have time to set up a shot and make it look exactly how I wanted. Since I am trying to use my camera everyday, I have started snapping a shot whenever I see something I like. The other day, I noticed afternoon light coming in the kitchen window and shining on a spoon that was on our cutting board. I thought the shadows and highlights were interesting. I am gaining a better appreciation for ordinary, everyday objects and their ability to motivate my photographic spirit!
