Sometimes, creativity is found in the most unexpected places. Tonight, it was on the chopping board.
I wasn’t out chasing dramatic landscapes or waiting for the perfect light. I was just helping prepare dinner when I saw something worth capturing—an onion, freshly cut, stark against the dark background, layers unfolding like the rings of a tree. It reminded me that photography isn’t always about grand scenes; it’s about seeing what’s right in front of you.
I think that’s something I want to keep exploring—how even the most mundane, everyday moments can be transformed into something visually striking with the right composition, lighting, and a bit of curiosity. Of course, in this case, I also got a dose of watery eyes from a particularly strong onion, so maybe there’s some suffering for the art here, too!
Would love to know—do you ever notice beauty in the most unexpected places?
