Ordinary?

I love taking something completely ordinary, and looking at it in a new way, paying attention to how the light hits it and brings out its shape, and capturing its significance & beauty. One of our assignments for this week was to use directional & diffused light to show pattern & texture. I was in my office thinking of what to take pictures of for class, when the sun peeked through the clouds, came through my window, and hit a paper clip on my desk just right... and out came the camera.
