garyi - for inspiration, do a Google on Wolfgang Tillmans and then click on images and have a look through - see what you think.
He's managed an impressive career capturing the very very ordinary, but in an interesting and quite original way, and for someone that feels that great photographic subjects don't come their way, he may be a help. Good books available from Taschen & the Tate.
Socks rolled up on a sofa, a bunch of keys in the back of a door , a pair of jeans on the end of the stairs - not to mention pics of food!!. Sometimes, he actually even manages to come close to a different way of seeing, by being able to dodge outside the western conventions of composition and what makes a picture 'good' - which is a very difficult thing to do, especially if you've had any sort of art training, which presumably he has. Also, I don't think he would know what bokeh was if it bit him on the bum.
You don't have to do the knob pics though.
I wouldn't mean to condescend for a minute, but I do think that the quality of your pictures has really come on since you first began posting them on the Naim forum a couple of years ago. I particularly liked the one that comes up as 'tree50' if you check properties, in this thread. Lovely light, and open to all sorts of poncy interpretations.
