A new series on "Ordinary Life" Click for larger.

Wow Nigell,
This is brilliantly executed and amazing to look at, and errr..it's two handles and a tap...well done!!!
In a quirky kinda way, when I look at it for long enough, I imagine the two handles as eyes, with the pupils being the C and the absent H, and the mouth/nose as the tap. The texture of the wall in which they are in only add to it.
I really like this...thanks for sharing.

I'm going to be really picky here and say i don't like the shadows under the spout. The shadows under the tap are fine, but not the spout.

Thanks for the comments guys.

A nice touch of surrealism. I love it!

Is that the head of a duck that I can see?

Nice work, I like it.

Its certainly a challenge (at least for me) to shoot the ordinary in a way which gives it life and a sense other than "ordinary". It didn't start out a project, but the challenge it posed to how I shoot was something I really enjoyed. So a project was born. Thanks for the comments guys.

So very nice, love it mate.

Nice work!! Great lighting..
Can I ask whether the texture was added later? if not how did you get it to stand out like that.

nice image, it really brings to life something that is everyday.

The texture is real. That's what the taps are attached to. I suspect age allows it to really stand out like it does; so there are a lot of cracks and colour changes in it. I think of it like shooting a portrait of an old person. Not that pretty to look at, but always interesting.

That is really cool. The exposure, lighting, texture and subject is great.
