Initiating, and then accepting, the challenge among friends, to photograph vegetables every day for the week, I found all I had in the refrigerator were onions, wilted broccoli and spinach. None of which seemed very attractive, I moved ahead to photograph them, anyway, as I sauteed them for an omelet. After all, I said I would.
Most of the photographs I took were somewhat blurred and none were very interesting and the noisy thoughts keep running around my head. “My photos need to be ‘good.’ That’s what’s expected of me. His/hers will be better than mine.” Sound familiar?
The irony for me is that the pieces of broccoli and onions certainly seem to represent the pieces of everything I’m doing right now, scattered in a contained space.
Happy photographing!

Although I didn’t detect the spinach that you mentioned, your photograph of “wilted broccoli and onions” teaches us that we can always evolve into something better. I kept in mind what wasn’t photographed, and that was picturing the “wilted broccoli and onions ” becoming a sumptuous omelet. Yum!
Thanks, Carol. I considered using a photo with all 3 ingredients and visually I did not like any I took. I just uploaded one for you, though, at http://www.photographyandtransformation.com/spinach-brocolli-onions.jpg
I like what you say about evolving into something better. Visualizing what we want often does bring into into place AND, yes, it was a sumptuous omelet, easy and nutritious!
