One of the 'easiest' things to do, other than press the button on a camera while facing a random direction, is to go find someone or a specific object and take a building much as they appear in a book. What I find harder, but also more interesting, is to take an interesting picture of something mundane. I have a lot of respect for photographers who have to take pictures of a tube of toothpaste for an advert, they have to make the mundane seem at least a bit interesting and recognisable.
What we have here is not supposed to be an exercise in product recognition, it's a cup of coffee on my desk at work with the next desk visible behind. And that is exactly what the original shows. The treatment I gave this has given me some confidence that perhaps here I have a way of dealing with those mundane images I wish to take, and I wish to take them because I see beyond the mucky façade that most people seem to focus on.
