Show Simon something of “everyday life”…an object perhaps that you use or encounter almost every day.  This can be from home or work.   What are essential yet perhaps ordinary things you use every day and take little notice? 

 

The image may be macro or not..the idea of this Simon is an everyday object(or objects) which is the focal point of the image composition.

 

Mine is the stuff of my work..precious metal, gemstones and jewelry.  I see too much of this!  To me, this is ordinary but not to others.   This is not “my” gold and I only work it,  five days a week in one way or the other. 

 

What is common in your daily life, not in thoughts but always there and essential?

Excelent Simon!   @Tom! Love your work, from a raw gold you create something beautyful. @Awjay, like a color of this window, reminds me of the lime fruit....lol. @ Akemi, yep we use spices every day, it is like a second nature for every woman and of  course for many man too. Acctually I am in  middle of the cooking...lol

Here is mine. I use my little keyboard and wacom pen everyday to communicate with you RR guys and girls.

After swigging some coffee in my green travel mug and some Ginko to get my brain working, I need to get my daily dose of Gary Larson...

James, the next Simon is up to you,friend.   I am not certain but I think about 3 or 4 days from start of the first one is general timing.  Go for it!      Tom.
