Photography and Seinfeld

When I am shooting something like the photo below, I often think of Seinfeld, "a show about nothing".

Salt & Pepper

When photographing, the subject does not always need to be a grandiose subject, just everyday "nothing really special" items that spark an interest. Sometimes the subjects can be arranged uniquely or not. Since I am a visual person. one of the things I enjoy about photography is all the different perspectives of photographers which gives each one a uniqueness. Taking an everyday item, one that may seem mundane, often past over and preserving its image, making it more than "nothing".  I am so thankful for all photographers for visually sharing so many wonderful images of everyday life. It gives us all a chance to take a second look and possibly see it for the first time. All the nothing is actually something, maybe not grandiose but they make up a life. Sometimes it may even spark a memory in someone.

But hey, Seinfeld ran for 9 seasons and the reruns are still on.  There must be something to this "nothing".
